One of the deadliest single massacres in the history of the Holocaust, the Babyn Yar mass killing committed by the Nazis in Kyiv, Ukraine, on September 29 and 30, 1941, heartlessly stole the lives of more than 33,000 Jewish men, women, and children. Standing in solidarity with Queens’ Jewish and Ukrainian communities, Queens Borough President Donovan Richards Jr. traveled to Ukraine earlier this month to participate in a series of events commemorating the 80th anniversary of the massacre.
