Babyn Yar was not the only place of killing. In Ukraine, there are over 5,000 known places where the Nazis carried out mass executions. During October 13–14, 1941, the Nazis shot about 13,000 Jews of Dnipropetrovsk (now Dnipro). They were gathered near the central department store on K. Marx Avenue (now D. Yavornytsky Avenue). They were stripped of the things they had brought with them, divided into columns, and sent under escort to the territory of the forest nursery opposite the Transport Institute, where they were all shot on October 13–14, 1941, or even thrown alive into a ravine. In the museum video, you will learn the story of a doll that survived the Holocaust in Dnipro.

The mass extermination of Ukrainian Jewry constitutes the most tragic page of the Holocaust. Babyn Yar in Kyiv, Drobytskyi Yar in Kharkiv, the Botanical Garden in Dnipropetrovsk, the “Red Barracks” in Poltava, the territory of the airfield near Berdychiv, the surroundings of the “Green Farm” near Vinnytsia, the Sosonky tract near Rivne – the list of places of destruction reaches over 5,000 names of settlements, forever marked in red, the color of blood, on the map of Ukraine. One of these infamous places was Kamianets-Podilskyi, where at the end of August 1941 the most massive tragedy of that time took place. Over the course of 3 days, over 23,000 Jews, mostly of Hungarian origin, were shot by Nazi units together with the Hungarian military. Deep craters in the suburbs became the place of torture and subsequent murder of thousands of innocent victims.
