Babyn Yar Massacres Remembrance Day is observed in Ukraine every September 29 to commemorate the victims of the massacres carried out by German occupation forces during World War II, primarily targeting Jews. The site of the tragedy, Babyn Yar, is a ravine in Kyiv where over 33,000 Jews were executed on September 29 and 30, 1941, marking the first and most documented massacre at this location. In the months that followed, the total number of victims exceeded 100,000, including Romani people, Soviet POWs, and Ukrainian nationalists. Observances include solemn remembrance ceremonies at Babyn Yar and educational events organized by the Institute of History of Ukraine and various Jewish organizations. Since Ukraine's independence, numerous memorials have been established at Babyn Yar, including a Menorah-shaped monument dedicated to Jewish victims. The day serves as a significant reminder of the atrocities committed and the importance of remembering the victims.
