The #Holocaust started with the systematic execution of #Jews in the Ukraine. On 29-30 Sept 1941 alone, 33,371 of those native in #Kyiv were shot over the ravine of #BabiYar. The #WaffenSS used the infrastructure of the #NKVD in its barbarism. In total, it deliberately murdered 900,000. 3/

It's 1942. You live by the railway. You see the trains travelling to @Auschwitz. Would you know you're witnessing genocide?

Lesson of #BabiYar: #Genocide is made up of heaps of dual-use moments which are part of a system.

In 1941 as the #Germans approached #Kyiv, #Soviets booby-trapped the buildings on Kyiv's main thoroughfare Kreshatyk.

The Soviets predicted which buildings the Germans would occupy.

The Soviets blew up the buildings after the Nazi's occupied them.

#Ukrainian #Jewish community members were scapegoated, and the #holocaust of bullets began the next morning at #BabiYar.

#Ruschists continue to repeat Soviet and #Nazi strategies and war crimes in #Ukraine in 2022.

Caveat Kherson.

Le massacre de #BabiYar est le plus grand massacre perpétré en #Ukraine dans le cadre de l’extermination des juifs. Du 29 au 30/09 1941, les troupes d’occupation allemandes secondées par des milices nationalistes ukrainiennes abattirent 33  771 juifs

Une grande surface interdite aux Juifs aujourd’hui, en Ukraine, 82 ans jour pour jour après le massacre de Babi Yar. L’Ukraine contemporaine est un ramassis de néo-nazis. #BabiYar https://twitter.com/thebelaaz/status/1575458827104927745

Per lavoro torno a casa tardi la sera, e da un po' non mi capita di guardare il telegiornale. Ho scoperto solo ora del bombardamento di Babi Yar, che ha fatto cinque ulteriori vittime.

Sono senza parole.

Putin: “Denazification.”
Also Putin: Bombs #BabiYar
