Over the course of two days, 33,771 Jews were murdered in the Babi Yar ravine




On This Day, September 29, 1941, the massacre at Babi Yar began. 

Over the course of two days, 33,771 Jews were murdered in the Babi Yar ravine, located on the outskirts of Kiev, the capital of Ukraine (USSR). A week after the Germans captured Kiev, they decided to massacre the city’s Jews. 

The Jews were ordered to assemble in the morning for resettlement. But as they were marched to the ravine, they were forced to surrender any valuables, take off their clothes, and move towards the edge of the ravine in groups of ten. 

As they reached the edge, they were shot by Einsatzgruppe C soldiers with the assistance of local collaborators. After two days of shooting, the bodies were covered with a thin layer of dirt. Among the victims was Anyuta Lifshitz (pictured). She was just 13 years old.

Russian poet Yevguni Yevatushenko: Don't miss reading this shocking poem by #BabiYar

No memorial in babi yar;

Just sour side. And I'm scared.

I feel like a Jew in the desert today

What of Egypt that survived. They cross me

And my hands keep the stigma.

I think dreyfus, waste,

For whom they judge, spit, imprison;

But standing opposes slander

and Palestine cry. with the tip

Look at your umbrellas on my face

My defenseless women are coming

Brussels lace with fabric.

Or I'm also a kid in Bielostok.

Soon the pogromo bursts.

Dropped blood covers the ground.

who smell vodka and onion

Come out of the madhushala and everyone shouts:

"Kill the Jews: You will save Russia

Cutie gets mad with my mom.

Another man takes me out. I pray in vain

Prayers are lost in nothing.

I'm sitting in

Anna Frank's skin is transparent

like the April bouquets.

No words needed. I feel loved

And just need each other

We'll look forward.

different from the sky and the foliage.

We can only catch each other

in this room in the dark

I want to kiss you another time, come closer.

Here they come. Nothing scared: rumoured

It is spring that is announced

and of the broken drum on the ice.

and sounds grass around Babi Yaar

which has gone wild since then.

Trees are judging us. All shouts

But the scream is done in silence.

Searching for myself I notice my hair.

It has also fallen asleep. I scream too

for thousands of innocent dead

massaged here. in every elderly person

And in every child they killed me.

Russian people, my people: I know you.

You don't hate races or nations.

Vile hands tried to defame you

by usurpar by calling your name and

"Union of Russian people". ** I don't forgive.

Let International fill the air

When the last

Antisemitic Yazga Underground.

I'm not a Jew. As if,

They all hate me

because of your hatred

I am a true Russian and will stay.

Julius and Ethel Rosenberg executed for espionage, 1953.

Chetnik war crimes in World War II

Chetnik war crimes in World War II The Chetniks, a Yugoslav royalist and Serbian nationalist movement and guerrilla force, committed numerous war crimes during the Second World War, primarily directed against the non-Serb population of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, mainly Muslims and Croats, and against Communist-led Yugoslav Partisans and their supporters. Most historians who have considered the question regard the Chetnik crimes against Muslims and Croats during this period as constituting genocide. The Chetnik movement drew its members from the interwar Chetnik Association and various Serb nationalist groups. Some Chetnik ideologues were inspired by the Stevan Moljević's Homogeneous Serbia memorandum in July 1941, that defined the borders of an ethnically pure Greater Serbia. A similar document was put forward to the Yugoslav government-in-exile in September 1941. The Yugoslav government embraced t...

A group of Australian War Correspondents visited a PoW camp and found shocking conditions of cruelty.

A group of Australian War Correspondents visited a PoW camp and found shocking conditions of cruelty.  The camp was about fifteen miles out of Yokosuka Naval Base, and the Corespondents were the first to find the POWs. The camp was not registered (with the International Red Cross) and all the 103 occupants, comprising ninety eight Americans, four British and one New Zealander, were reported dead some time ago.  The men had been cruelly beaten and maltreated, but for the past week or two they had better treatment and were given a chance to pick up. American planes had dropped comforts and clothing to them. The Japanese guards who had beaten the men were taken from the camp and replaced by others a week before the occupation.  Almost every day "Bimbo" beatings were administered. Here Chief Petty Officer (CPO) Harold Newman RN of Carshalton, Surrey, England, assumes the position only too well as the "Afuna crouch". He is demonstrating to the Australian officers, the cr...

The capture of brave Russian officer Rosinski

The capture of brave Russian officer Rosinski This is a shocking image and I apologize in advance for sharing it, but here’s one that truly got to me… in Belarus, 1918, after WWI had already ended, the brave Russian officer Rosinski was captured by the Bolsheviks. The Bolsheviks tortured the captain, likely to get information out of the man, which he bravely refused to give. After that, they simply continued with the torture out of some sick sense of innate cruelty. He was ‘the enemy’ and he was at their mercy, so they brutally murdered their captive. The brave captain was emasculated. And anally impaled on a tree branch. All this while still alive. Alfred Savoir, the man who published the picture and was an eye witness to the death of the brave military officer, described "M. B.", who ordered this atrocity, thus: I knew him not long ago; he was a charming teenager with an ironic wit and joker. He was rubbed with French culture, he admired the novels of Barres and he quot...

Frank Discussion Of Rape And Other Atrocities Committed During War.

WARNING! PHOTO BELOW ARE NOT MET FOR THE WEAK HEART. Please note: The following subject matter is of immense importance, but could be difficult to read. There is a Frank Discussion Of Rape And Other Atrocities Committed During War. After entering a large museum in one of the world’s most ancient cities and the former capital of the Chinese empire, Nanking—or Nanjing as it’s known today—my 18-year-old daughter Sophia and I walked over a glass walkway that allowed us to look down 10 feet of earth and observe an ancient footpath. Lights highlighted the ground under the glass while the room we were in was dark.  To our right hung numerous photographs on a black wall showing Japanese soldiers slaughtering Chinese citizens in December 1937 revealed by individual lights, the types one sees on art museum paintings. Dead babies, severed heads, piles of bodies on Yangtze River banks, and helpless prisoners of war were all documented there by photographs taken by the perpetrators themselve...

During World War II, millions of people were sent to concentration camps, including women.

During World War II, millions of people were sent to concentration camps, including women. Women in concentration camps were subjected to brutal treatment and often faced more severe conditions than their male counterparts. The conditions in the camps were inhumane, and women were often subjected to forced labor, starvation, and medical experiments. Women were treated differently in concentration camps than men. They were often separated from their families, forced to perform hard labor, and subjected to sexual abuse. Women who were pregnant were also subjected to harsh conditions and medical experimentation. Many women were killed, either as part of the genocide or because they were deemed too weak to continue working. One of the most notorious concentration camps where women were held was Auschwitz-Birkenau. There, women were subjected to forced labor, starvation, and medical experimentation. Many were killed in gas chambers or through other forms of execution. The camp was designe...
