It was the site of the single largest massacre of the Nazis' campaign to wipe out the Jewish people.
Now, decades later, a synagogue is set to open at Babi Yar, a memorial to the killing of nearly 34,000 Jews in September 1941.
Max Yakover, who heads the memorial, told Reuters last week the project “should be a significant thing with a very deep meaning.”
The congregation is expected to open during the 80th anniversary of the massacre next year. It would be the Ukrainian capital’s first new shul since 1991, according to the newswire.
