Mapping Memories: Babyn Jar and other "forgotten” sites of the Holocaust - History and memory of Babyn Jar | bpb.de

Input: Events between 1941 and 1944
This input will present the current state of research on Babyn Jar. Many issues have not yet been conclusively resolved: Who were the victims and perpetrators, how did the population of Kiev respond? What “blind spots” still exist, and what are the challenges with respect to research on Babyn Jar?

Input: Struggles with memory after the end of the war<absatz/> For a long time, the wider public remained largely unaware of the massacre of Babyn Jar. But how was the specific place of Babyn Jar dealt with directly after the war? How was the issue debated during Soviet times? When were Jews mentioned as a group of victims? And how has Babyn Jar been dealt with since independence?
