Babi Yar is a ravine in the northwest part of Kiev. Kiev was captured by the Germans on Sep. 19,1941with a population

of 160,000. Luckily 100.00 Jews had fled Kiev before the Germans arrived. Jewish people in the Ukrainian capitol

were massacred. Also on Sep. 24-28 numerous buildings of the Nazi's were blown up. The Jews of Kiev were wanted dead for this attack against the Germans. On sep.29 the Jews were to be assembled for a “resettlement. However

the real plan was to kill them. The Jews were forced to hand over all valuables and to undress. Then they were told to

stand in groups of ten, on the edge of the ravine.

Death Marches were used to bring prisoners from camp to camp. There were 59 marches in the spring and winter of 1944 and 1945. They would march on the back roads, that way the military couldn’t see them. Prisoners would either march to the railway stations and ride the

fright train, with 140 people in each car for three days and nights. Without sitting or sleeping. Or they were marched

100 miles or more on foot, Michel Scheckter walked 52 days straight, during his march. During the march of you

had to go to the bathroom, you would have to run ahead of the group and “go” then be dressed before the guard saw you. If you weren’t dressed by the time the guard saw you,

you would be shot on the spot. Deaths were common in these marches, they would range from 25%-90%.

worse. Herschel Grynzpeln killed a Nazi for killing his parents. That is part of why the Night of broken glass

began.
