Babi Yar is a ravine in the Ukrainian capital Kiev and a site of massacres carried out by German forces and local collaborators during their campaign against the Soviet Union.
The most notorious and the best documented of these massacres took place from 29–30 September 1941, wherein 33,771 Jews were killed. The decision to kill all the Jews in Kiev was made by the military governor, Major-General Kurt Eberhard, the Police Commander for Army Group South, SS-Obergruppenführer Friedrich Jeckeln, and the Einsatzgruppe C Commander Otto Rasch.
It was carried out by Sonderkommando 4a soldiers, along with the aid of the SD and SS Police Battalions backed by the local police.
The massacre was the largest mass killing for which the Nazi regime and its collaborators were responsible during its campaign against the Soviet Union and is considered to be “the largest single massacre in the history of the Holocaust”
It is estimated that between 100,000 and 150,000 people were killed at Babi Yar during the German occupation.

Many Jews were murdered during Nissan. Maybe the Poles and Germans weren’t aware of that rule about Nissan.
because they are still in denial
or because the still do not recognize jews
or if they do , they are ashamed
for what they did or let be done
hashem yekom domimim
The Rebbe was not for Yom Hashoah in Nissan, since its a month of Joy.
