This podcast was recorded during the part of the year in which the holiest of Jewish holidays takes place. It seemed appropriate to take some time to remember those of us who were lost during the Holocaust, but a part of the Holocaust many of us know little about, This podcast contains a film by John Pollick: (From the film's web page - https://www,beyondbabiyarmovie.com) "Babi Yar, or Babyn Yar, is a ravine in Kyiv, Ukraine. On September 29th and 30th, 1941, Nazis forced 33,771 Jews into it and shot them. The Nazis continued their campaign of mass shootings of Jews well beyond Babi Yar, extending through Ukraine, Belarus and other parts of Eastern Europe. This is how the Holocaust began. Although Nazis later engaged in industrialized killing, mainly in death and concentration camps in occupied Poland, an estimated 2.4 million, or 40%, of the 6 million Jews killed in the Holocaust died by shooting. They lie in thousands of mass graves across Eastern Europe, most of which, to this day, are unmarked, unprotected and desecrated.    The mass shootings occurred primarily in Ukraine. In Ukraine alone, it is estimated that 1,500,000 to 2,100,000 Jews were shot at approximately 2,000 execution sites across the country. The majority of these sites are unmarked and neglected, and the names of nearly half of the victims in them are unknown.   John Pollick is a lawyer in Illinois. The families of his maternal grandparents, immigrants from what is now Ukraine, were among the shooting victims. In 2014, after decades of searching for the mass grave in his grandmother's hometown, he learned that an organization called Yahad-In Unum had located it. He also learned that it was one of five sites, among thousands, selected to be protected and memorialized through a project called "Protecting Memory". In 2015, he and his daughter attended the dedication of the memorial there. While there, he learned of the full extent of the mass shootings and the profound neglect of both the execution sites and the shooting victims themselves.   Returning home, Mr. Pollick found that, like himself before "Protecting Memory", Americans were not properly educated about the shooting victims and their neglected graves. In 2019, to address this void, he returned to Ukraine to make a film showing the reality of these forgotten victims and their graves, as well as the changing attitudes of Ukrainians regarding them. These changing attitudes include a growing willingness to remember and honor these marginalized victims, and bury them with dignity. The process of doing so, however, has barely begun. Hundreds, if not thousands, of execution sites across Ukraine and Eastern Europe will be forever forgotten, together with the Jewish victims in them, unless these efforts are greatly and immediately expanded.   The purpose of the film is to educate viewers about these forgotten Holocaust victims and their neglected graves, and inspire action regarding them. After 80 years, it is time to finally address this enormous historical and humanitarian injustice in an open and comprehensive way, and begin to restore to the millions of shooting victims the dignity and respect they have been so long denied." After the film, John and I talk about John's family's relationship to the killings, his involvement in making the film, and why he felt it was important to make the film. He also questions from members of the audience who viewed the film at Orchard Cove, a senior residence in the Boston area.

Tucker Carlson is perhaps the country's most influential conservative commentator; his eponymous podcast is routinely among the most downloaded shows on the internet. Despite his endless fulminations against the mainstream media, Carlson has an impeccable mainstream media pedigree. He's hit for the cycle on cable news, having hosted shows on Fox, MSNBC, and CNN. After he was fired from Fox News in 2023, under circumstances that are still hotly disputed, Carlson quickly reconstituted his career on his own—free of corporate shackles, with no institutional guardrails, and with a professed willingness to explore topics that his former mainstream media colleagues wouldn't touch. Last week on his show, he did just that, airing an interview with a man most people in the mainstream won't touch: a podcaster named Darryl Cooper, who Carlson called “the most important historian in the United States.” In reality, Cooper is an amateur historian with no publishing record—no books, no academic articles. He produces a popular history podcast called Martyr Made, in which he does deep dives into subjects like the Israel-Palestine conflict, the cult of Reverend Jim Jones, and the trials of Jeffrey Epstein. He has previously described his personal politics as those of a “non-racist fascist.” On Carlson's show, Cooper demonstrated some of those fascist tendencies when he identified Winston Churchill—not Adolf Hitler—as the “chief villain” of World War II. He wasn't a hero at all, Cooper argued, but a “psychopath” who forced Nazi Germany into a war that it didn't want. And what of the Holocaust? Cooper doesn't speak of Jewish victims, but vaguely and airily of “prisoners of war. . . local political prisoners and so forth” who the Nazis “just threw. . . into camps, and millions of people ended up dead.”  In September 1941, a mere week after Nazi troops occupied the Ukrainian capital of Kiev, that city's Jews were ordered to congregate for “resettlement.” Under threat of severe punishment, they obliged. . . and were loaded into trucks to be transported a short distance to Babi Yar, a ravine just north of the city. In a two-day orgy of violence, 33,000 Jews ended up dead. Innocents, not prisoners of war; children forced to lie on top of those pushed into the pit before them, then executed with a bullet in the back of the head. This is how they ended up dead. Tucker Carlson, who has the ear of millions of conservatives, including Donald Trump, and who secured a prime time speaking spot at the Republican National Convention, said nothing in response to Cooper's revisionism. No pushback. Not an arched eyebrow. Just unalloyed praise for an extremist autodidact, America's “best” historian. Cooper defended himself on Twitter by assuring his critics that Hitler was indeed desperate to make peace and was also willing to “work with the other powers to reach an acceptable solution to the Jewish problem.” Jewish problem was not in quotes. When another user pointed this out, Cooper responded: “Was there not a problem involving the Jews in Europe at the time?” Hitler apologia and antisemitism packaged as brave historical inquiry is not new. We've heard versions of these arguments from cranks, extremists, and anti-Americans on the left and right, for decades. But why is there a sudden resurgence of these odious ideas on the American right?  Today, we talk to Victor Davis Hanson to help us answer this question. Hanson is a classicist and historian, the author of two dozen books, including the critically acclaimed The Second World Wars: How the First Global Conflict Was Fought and Won. And for years, Hanson was a weekly guest on Tucker Carlson's television show. We discuss his relationship with Carlson, the accuracy and derivation of Darryl Cooper's claims about the Second World War, and why so-called “anti-elitism” often drifts into antisemitism.

L'immense majorité est tombée sous les balles des Einsatzgruppen, des unités de tueries mobiles. Pour revenir sur l'histoire de ce massacre de masse, auquel renvoie l'expression de "Shoah par balles", Virginie Girod s'entretient avec Marie Moutier-Bitan, docteure en histoire contemporaine à l'EHESS et spécialiste de la Shoah en Union soviétique occupée.En 1939, l'URSS et l'Allemagne nazie ont signé un pacte de non-agression. Hitler, débarrassé de la crainte d'avoir à se battre sur deux fronts, fait basculer l'Europe dans la guerre. Il s'agit cependant d'une manœuvre temporaire. "Hitler souhaite détruire le communisme au pouvoir en Union Soviétique et lutter contre ce qu'il appelle le 'judéo-bolchevisme'. D'après lui, les populations juives sont les principaux soutiens des Bolchéviques. C'est une construction idéologique nazie", décrypte Marie Moutier-Bitan.Le 22 juin 1941, le IIIe Reich rompt le pacte de non-agression et envahit l'URSS. Cette invasion est à l'origine d'immenses massacres. Avec l'avancée des troupes allemandes, les pogroms se multiplient. "Ces pogroms n'ont rien de spontané", précise Marie Moutier-Bitan "ils sont organisés en amont avec les nationalistes locaux. Les Juifs sont pris pour cible par les soldats de la Wehrmacht et par la population locale, qui quand elle ne participe pas directement au massacre, pille les habitations des Juifs".Les Nazis vont cependant rationaliser l'extermination des Juifs. "Le pogrom est un événement très spectaculaire mais qui fait relativement peu de victimes pour les Nazis. Ils vont donc mettre en place des fusillades organisées et systématiques", retrace la spécialiste. "Les Nazis sont convaincus qu'ils mènent une guerre juste". Lors du massacre de Babi Yar, en septembre 1941, plus de 30.000 Juifs de Kiev sont assassinés pendant deux jours entiers.L'histoire de ces fusillades, largement documentées dans les archives soviétiques, ne sera connue du grand public qu'après l'ouverture de ces dernières à la chute de l'URSS. L'expression "Shoah par balles" est cependant peu utilisée par les universitaires "parce qu'elle exclut d'autres dispositifs de tuerie qui ont lieu sur ces territoires soviétiques occupés comme les pendaisons, les camions à gaz ou encore la famine dans les ghettos", rappelle Marie Moutier-Bitan.Thèmes abordés : Shoah, Juifs, Allemagne nazie, URSS, Seconde Guerre mondiale "Au cœur de l'histoire" est un podcast Europe 1 Studio- Présentation : Virginie Girod - Production : Nathan Laporte avec Camille Bichler et Caroline Garnier- Réalisation : Julien Tharaud- Composition de la musique originale : Julien Tharaud - Rédaction et Diffusion : Nathan Laporte- Communication : Kelly Decroix- Visuel : Sidonie Mangin

In this deeply tragic episode we will look at an often overlooked atrocity of World War II. The Massacre at the "Babi Yar" Ravine in Kiev, Ukraine was a huge and multicultural killing with many dirty details. 20 years after that two Russian artists, Poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko and Composer Dimitri Shostakovich, brought this tragedy back to lite and wished to expose the then Soviet Union's unwillingness to recognize the site as a Holocaust Site and Massacre of Jew, Ukranians, Russians and Romani's at the hands of Nazis during their German Occupation. Come join me for a look at just how surprisingly interconnected the two wars taking up the world stage right now are (Russia/Ukraine and Israel/Palestine) and how much some Russians were against all of the atrocities no matter who was killed and no matter what part of Russia they were from. #thirdeyeedifypodcast Get a copy of my very first book "World War YOU"PAPERBACK and KINDLE: https://a.co/d/5x5WwwKEBOOK: https://books2read.com/u/mBAx6OCheck out the Third Eye Edify Website:http://thirdeyeedify.comCheck out my Patreon to help support all of my EDIFYING future content:http://www.Patreon.com/ThirdEyeEdifyFind me on Rokfin and get a premium membership to support me PLUS get access to all of the other incredible content on their platform:https://www.rokfin.com/ThirdEyeEdifyJoin my Telegram group:https://t.me/ThirdEyeEdifyContact me for professional music lessons:https://jorgemesamusic.com/Check out my Linktree:https://linktr.ee/thirdeyeedifyPlease Like and Subscribe on Rokfin, Odysee and Bitchute:#thirdeyeedifypodcast Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

In today's episode, we speak about Richard Strauss' Metamorphosen, as well as the complicated and hotly debated questions about Strauss' activities during World War II. We also talk about Shostakovich and his 13th Symphony, entitled "Babi Yar," a piece of memorial for a place where no memorial had stood for decades. Finally, we speak about Benjamin Britten and his War Requiem. We talk about Britten's devout pacificism, about his visit to the Belsen Displaced Persons camp after World War II, and why his War Requiem seems to have more connection with World War I than with World War II. It was truly a joy to talk to Jeremy about all of these different great composers, as well as the memories they created with their works. Join us!

In Episode 169 of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill Weinberg discusses the move by the Kyiv City Council to name a street after Nazi collaborator Volodymyr Kubiyovych, who was instrumental in forming the SS Galizien Division. The plan was quashed by Kyiv's mayor following protests from the Israeli ambassador—but not before internet tankies exploited the affair to portray Ukraine as a "Nazi state." Ironically, this came the same week that President Volodymyr Zelensky honored victims of the Holocaust at the Babi Yar memorial in Kyiv. The unseemly nostalgia for Nazi collaborators who fought the Soviets in World War II is opposed by the leadership of Ukraine's Jewish community—who also vigorously repudiate efforts by Kremlin propagandists to launder Putin's war of aggression as "denazification." Russia's fascist pseudo-anti-fascism is likewise repudiated by Ukraine's own bona fide left-wing anti-fascists, in groups such as the Solidarity Collectives, who now support the Ukrainian war effort against the Russian aggression.

Focus sur les angles morts de la couverture médiatique de la guerre en Ukraine, un an après le début de l'offensive russe. Les 12 000 journalistes accrédités pendant la guerre en Ukraine témoignent de la mobilisation des rédactions pour ce conflit qui a été le premier sujet couvert en France l'an dernier, avec 27% des titres à la Une, selon l'institut Onclusive. Et pourtant, il reste des angles morts. Si des massacres comme celui de Boutcha sont bien documentés, notamment par le New York Times qui y est resté huit mois pour pouvoir incriminer le 234e régiment de parachutistes russe, il est beaucoup plus difficile d'avoir une vue d'ensemble des pertes des deux côtés. L'état-major norvégien parle de 180 000 blessés et tués côté russe contre 100 000 Ukrainiens. Les Britanniques apportent les mêmes estimations côté russe en précisant qu'il y aurait eu entre 40 000 et 60 000 morts. Mais Kiev parle aussi de « 800 soldats russes tués par jour », ce qui amène Le Figaro à parler d'un « impossible décompte pour les deux camps ».Trolls et infox La propagande est aussi active. Du côté du Kremlin, l'invasion est d'abord euphémisée sous le terme « d'opération militaire spéciale » et justifiée par le mensonge de la « nazification de l'Ukraine ». Les usines à trolls d'Evgueni Prigojine prennent le relais pour fabriquer un récit à grand renfort d'images manipulées ou de contestation des crimes. Si la Russie se déploie dans les infox, l'Ukraine mise davantage sur la communication avec un chef d'État qui va sur le front et redonne courage. Zelensky se rend à Washington ou à Bruxelles et envoie des vidéos à Strasbourg, mais aussi à Cannes pour le festival de cinéma ou de la publicité. Cela n'empêche pas non plus la propagande, comme quand Kiev a faussement prétendu que le mémorial juif de Babi Yar avait été bombardé, au début de la guerre, ou qu'un missile russe était tombé en Pologne alors que c'était un tir de sa défense. Des accréditations retiréesDe plus, il est aujourd'hui difficile de voir la guerre côté russe. Les incursions de la presse occidentale sur la zone de front, même très encadrées, ne sont plus autorisées par Moscou depuis l'été. Dans le Donbass, un reporter de The Economist regrettait de ne pouvoir vérifier si les Ukrainiens bombardent des civils à Donetsk, comme le disent les pro-Russes. Et faute de correspondants en Russie, les jeux de pouvoir entre le Kremlin, l'état-major et la milice Wagner échappent aux médias occidentaux. Côté ukrainien, il arrive que des accréditations soient retirées quelques jours, comme ont pu le voir à Kherson les reporters de TF1, CNN et Skynews, jugés trop près des premières lignes. Bien sûr, il y a là aussi de la propagande, mais il ne faut jamais oublier qu'il y a un envahisseur et un envahi.► À écouter aussi : La falsification de l'histoire, socle de la mobilisation russe contre l'Ukraine

As the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union swept over vast areas of Ukraine and Belorussia from the summer of 1941, over three million Jews were deliberately targeted for annihilation. Shot, hung, butchered, a million and a half Jewish souls were buried in vast pits in Babi Yar, Rumbula, Mariupol, Minsk, Kyiv and Riga. Many accounts began to flood into the Soviet Union where journalist and writer Ilya Ehrenburg began gathering testimonies of the mass murder. This became The Black Book, a chronicle of the Nazi extermination of Soviet Jews. Historian Catherine Merridale travels to Riga, Latvia and Yad Vashem, where the Black Book was smuggled, to uncover this complex story of loss, silence and rediscovery.

Synopsis It's strange to read the doubts Tchaikovsky expressed in letters about many of his greatest musical works, which he first would dismiss as failures, only to change his mind completely a few weeks later. Take, for example, his ballet The Nutcracker, which had its premiere performance on this day in 1892 at the Mariinsky Theater in St. Petersburg. Tchaikovsky described working on the ballet as a "dread-inspiring, feverish nightmare, so abominable that I don't think I have the strength to put it into words." At the time, Tchaikovsky was MUCH more optimistic about an opera he was writing titled Yolanta—only to abruptly changed his mind, writing "Now I think that the ballet is good and the opera nothing special." This time, Tchaikovsky got it right—although initially the opera DID prove more popular than the ballet. Another—and deliberately nightmarish—Russian composition had its first performance on this same day 70 years later. This was the Symphony No. 13 by Dmitri Shostakovich, subtitled Babi Yar, based on poems of Yevgeny Yevtushenko. This choral symphony was first heard on today's date in 1962 at the Moscow Conservatory, but was quickly banned by the Soviet authorities. Its title poem, Babi Yar, called attention to Soviet indifference to the Holocaust and persistent anti-Semitism in Soviet society. Yevtushenko later softened these lines so the symphony could be performed in the U.S.S.R.

Dmitri Shostakovich's Thirteenth Symphony was inspired by an unflinching poem about the ‘Holocaust of Bullets' at Babi Yar in Ukraine, one of the biggest massacres of World War Two. Lucy Ash pieces together the events leading up to the controversial first performance by speaking to people who witnessed it in a Moscow concert hall 60 years ago: the composer's son Maxim Shostakovich, the poet's sister, Elena Yevtushenko and the music critic Iosif Raiskin. One March day in 1962, the young Russian poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko got an unexpected phone call. Dmitri Shostakovich was on the line asking if he had permission to set one of his verses to music. The poem, Babi Yar, denounces the massacre of 34,000 Jews in a ravine near the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv. It condemned not only Nazi atrocities, but also the Soviet Union's state-sanctioned anti-Semitism. Officials responded by launching a vicious campaign against the poet and banning readings or new publications of his work. So, Yevtushenko was delighted by the famous composer's moral and artistic support. According to his sister Elena, he felt the music had “made the poem ten times stronger”. But, as Maxim Shostakovich explains, the Soviet authorities tried to prevent the symphony from ever reaching an audience. The composer's son recalls how his father was consumed with anxiety ahead of the premiere, still haunted by his narrow escape, decades earlier, from Stalin's secret police. Pauline Fairclough, author of a recent Shostakovich biography, says that, despite all the pressures, the composer never stopped experimenting with musical forms. Concert pianist Benjamin Goodman describes Shostakovich's ‘word painting' technique and the ways in which he conveys Yevtushenko's verse in music to create a sombre, chilling, but ultimately consoling choral symphony. At the Babyn Yar Memorial site in Kyiv, Lucy is shown fragments of a Russian rocket which hit a nearby apartment building last spring. In the midst of a new, 21st-century war, she reflects on the nature of artistic and political courage and parallels between the Khrushchev era and Russia under Putin today.

Des députés français étaient à ses côtés pour « témoigner de ce qui se passe là-bas », dont le président des affaires étrangères à l'Assemblée nationale, et député MoDem des Hauts-de-Seine, Jean-Louis Bourlanges. Lors du recueillement au mémorial de Babi Yar, les députés ont tous été frappés par le charisme de l'ancien acteur. « Poutine a sous-estimé l'extraordinaire capacité de communicant de Zelensky », observe Anne Genetet, députée LREM. « La solution n'est pas en vue et l'hiver sera très difficile car les Russes ne vont pas rester inertes », se désole de son côté Jean-Louis Bourlanges qui, à l'issue de ce rendez-vous, se disait « préoccupé ». ​Dans une interview donnée au Figaro, Jean-Louis Bourlanges expliquait que « la guerre d'Ukraine change indiscutablement le projet européen : elle lui impose de nouveaux enjeux, elle lui donne un nouvel espace, élargi mais surtout rééquilibré à l'Est. Le refus d'élargir l'Union à l'Ukraine serait incompréhensible alors que ce pays consent les plus grands sacrifices pour défendre nos valeurs et préserver notre indépendance avec la sienne » puis d'ajouter ce qui l'inquiète n'est pas « l'Union, ce sont les Européens eux-mêmes « Pour lui, « Zelensky ne peut pas se permettre d'avoir une attitude de négociation à ce stade » ​Jean-Louis Bourlanges reviendra sur son voyage en Ukraine et sur la politique de défense européenne.

Deze documentaire, gemaakt door de bekende Oekraïense filmmaker Sergej Loznitsa, gaat over de massamoord op Oekraïense Joden die in 1941 plaatsvond in Babi Jar, een ravijn vlakbij Kiev. In twee dagen tijd werden ruim 33 duizend Joden omgebracht in wat bekend werd als de ‘Holocaust door kogels'. Een geschiedenis die in Oekraïne lang onderbelicht bleef.

In the month since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has become a global icon. Zelensky, who was elected in 2019 and chose to remain in his country during the assault, is Ukraine's first Jewish president. His Jewishness, already notable given the nation's history of antisemitism, has taken on new symbolic importance in light of Russian President Vladimir Putin's claim that the assault is justified by its goal of “denazification.” Many Jews around the world, some of whose ancestors once lived in Ukraine, have come to identify with Zelensky, who embodies many of the contradictions of post-Soviet Jewishness, and whose attempts to lobby on behalf of his nation—including in a recent speech before the Israeli Knesset—have highlighted questions about the politics of post-Soviet Holocaust memory. On today's episode, Newsletter Editor David Klion speaks with a panel of writers and contributors to the new Soviet Issue of Jewish Currents—Julia Alekseyeva, Linda Kinstler, and Helen Betya Rubinstein—about Zelensky's Jewishness and the meaning of Jewish identity in post-Soviet Russia and Ukraine.

On Sunday, thousands of people in cities across Canada gathered in solidarity with Ukraine. The support may comfort Anatoliy Shengait—as the head of Kyiv's Jewish community, he's spent the past week fielding worried WhatsApp calls, keeping tabs on the war and trying to communicate with his own family, including his brother, who's trapped with no electricity or running water outside the capital city. Shengait's life and work is busy enough during peacetime. He coordinates events, liaises with the city's synagogues and Jewish schools and has been advocating for a better airport in Uman, where thousands of Hasidic Jews make an annual pilgrimage to the grave of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov. Russia's attacks have risked not only his life and the lives of his fellow Ukrainian Jews—about 200,000, by some estimates—but it's also created a humanitarian crisis that has led hundreds of thousands of refugees to flee the country. Shengait spoke with The CJN Daily podcast from his home in besieged Kyiv on Sunday night. He spells out what he hopes the world understands about the situation and what he fears might happen next—that this war could lead to another massacre like what happened at Babi Yar against Ukrainian Jews during the Holocaust.

When western troops overthrew Saddam Hussein, the argument was that this would turn Iraq from a dictatorship into a democracy. And they have indeed held elections there; the latest vote for a new Iraqi parliament took place last Sunday. Yet when it comes to actually voting, tribal and religious affiliation appear to have trumped any ideological leanings, and with a heavy dose of apathy and disillusionment thrown in, says Lizzie Porter. As with Iraq, Japan also faces much disillusionment with democratic politics. The last election saw only a little over half the voting population turn out, and it's not hard to see why: in almost every single contest, the same party has won. Now, the Liberal Democrat Party has chosen a new leader, and he automatically became interim prime minister, pending a general election later this month. It is an election nobody expects him to lose, but was the country's new leader welcomed with great excitement and fanfare? Hardly, says Rupert Wingfield-Hayes: According to mythology, Rome was founded by a pair of twins who had been raised by wolves. But Romulus and Remus might have been surprised to know that in the early Twenty First Century, the “eternal city” would have wild wolves spotted near its airport. Meanwhile wild boars and other animals have been stalking the streets, feasting on the rubbish that sits uncollected. It's all just one sign of the extent to which Rome has not been particularly well run in recent years, maladministration and the mafia making easy bedfellows. Tomorrow, Romans will have the chance to choose a new mayor, hoping they save the city from this plight. Italian politics is, of course, often rather colourful, and the two remaining candidates in this contest are a radio star with links to the far right, and a former Economics Minister, who has attempted to seduce voters by serenading them with a bit of bosa nova guitar. Watching this spectacle is long-term Rome resident, Joanna Robertson. Someone once said that when it came to British politics, there had only been three issues in recent elections: Brexit, Brexit and Brexit. This was not a subject that other countries necessarily wanted to focus on, most governments having enough challenges of their own to think about. Yet, for the Republic of Ireland, the UK's rows over Europe were always going to make their mark; the country has so much trade with Britain, as well as an open border with Northern Ireland. Emma Vardy says that the latest developments in the Brexit saga, have left Irish people exasperated, and also rather sad. It was the writer William Faulkner who famously said “The past is never dead. It's not even past.” That's something which another writer, Colin Freeman, discovered, when he visited Ukraine this month. He was there to hear about a new memorial and museum for the “Babi Yar” massacre, an atrocity which took place in 1941. German Nazi occupiers shot dead more than thirty thousand Jews there, and later, would use the same site to kill gay people, prisoners of war, and the mentally ill - some of the worst mass shootings in human history. Plans for a new museum about the massacres have been underway for some time, but it's a development, which Colin Freeman say,s tells us much about present day Ukraine, as well as about the moment in history being commemorated.

You might remember the fanfare back in the fall of 2017, when Canada's Holocaust memorial opened in Ottawa, just west of Parliament Hill. Until then, Canada was the only Allied country without a national monument to victims of the Holocaust. The government paid $4 million for the Daniel Libeskind–designed project, while Canada's Jewish community raised the other $4.5 million. Later that year, a Hanukkah celebration was held at the newly minted site. But after that, only one other event was staged, in April 2019 to remember the Warsaw Ghetto uprising. The monument has since been somewhat forgotten. And while the pandemic can be partly blamed for that, it doesn't tell the whole story. That longstanding vacancy ended on Sept. 14, 2021, when two men organized a memorial for the victims of the Babi Yar massacre, which happened 80 years ago this week. During the two-day slaughter, Nazi soldiers shot and murdered more than 33,000 Jews in a ravine near Kiev, Ukraine, marking the first and largest mass murder of Jews in the the Holocaust. We're joined today by the two men who organized the event, Joel Diener and Lawrence Greenspon, who explain why they did it and how they hope their event will serve as a wake-up call for the Jewish community to take advantage of the Ottawa monument more often.

In 1961, a poem appeared by the young poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko, entitled Babi Yar. The first line of this poem is: “There are no monuments over Babi Yar.” In September of 1941 at least 33,771 Jews were murdered at the Babi Yar ravine in Ukraine; the largest single massacre of Jews to that point in WWII. Shostakovich, moved by the bravery of Yevtushenko's poem, set it and 4 other Yevtushenko poems and created his 13th symphony.

“Mi sembra d'essere io un figlio di Israele. Mi sembra di essere io Dreyfus. Mi sembra di essere io un bimbo di Bialystok. Mi sembra di essere io Anna Frank”. Esattamente 60 anni fa, con questi versi, il poeta russo Evgenij Evtushenko esprimeva il proprio sconvolgimento interiore per la scoperta di quanto avvenuto, tra il 29 e il 30 settembre 1941, a Babi Yar. Decine di migliaia gli ebrei ucraini uccisi in poche ore dalle SS con l'aiuto della polizia di Kiev, che attivamente partecipò al massacro. Una pagina d'orrore che proprio allora emergeva da un oblio che anche le forze d'occupazione sovietiche avrebbero contribuito, negli anni successivi, ad alimentare. In quegli stressi luoghi, a 80 anni dalla carneficina, e in occasione di Yom HaShoah, avverrà tra qualche ora qualcosa di molto significativo: l'inaugurazione di una sinagoga, realizzata dall'architetto di fama internazionale Manuel Herz e ispirata come modello alle tradizionali sinagoghe lignee dell'Est Europa risalenti al Sei-Settecento e in gran parte distrutte dai nazisti.

Dmitri Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 13 in B-flat minor (Op. 113), subtitled Babi Yar, was completed on July 20, 1962, and first performed in Moscow in December of that year. The hour-long work requires a bass soloist, men's chorus, and large orchestra and is laid out in five movements, each a setting of a Yevgeny Yevtushenko poem. This unusual form gives rise to various descriptions: choral symphony, song cycle, giant cantata. The five earthily vernacular poems denounce Soviet life one aspect at a time: brutality, cynicism, deprivation, anxiety, corruption. Kirill Kondrashin conducted the 1962 premiere after Yevgeny Mravinsky had declined the assignment under pressure; Vitaly Gromadsky sang the solo part alongside the combined choruses of the RSFSR State Academy and Gnessin Institute and the Moscow Philharmonic.

Babi Yar, le ravin où la population juive de Kiev a péri massacrée au moment de l'invasion de l'URSS par les nazis, est pour nous un symbole de la Shoah par balles. Mais le symbole ne vaut pas uniformément partout. Démêler l’écheveau de la mémoire du Mal en ex-URSS est une tâche complexe : sur les « terres de sang » (Snyder) où la moitié du génocide juif a eu lieu, la mémoire de la Shoah, longtemps empêchée, s’est mêlée et superposée à d’autres strates mémorielles, au souvenir également empêché d’autres traumatismes collectifs, créant un effet de brouillage. La littérature peut-elle nous aider à y voir plus clair et à articuler la mémoire du génocide juif aux mémoires conflictuelles de l’ex-Union Soviétique ? Annie Epelboin, universitaire, est spécialiste de littérature soviétique. Elle a notamment publié (avec Assia Kovriguina) La Littérature des Ravins. Ecrire sur la Shoah en URSS (éd. Laffont, 2013), et édité en traduction française la version non-expurgée du roman-document Babi Yar d’Anatoli Kouznetsov (éd. Laffont, 2011). émission en deux parties. À propos du livre : «LA LITTÉRATURE DES RAVINS Écrire sur la Shoah en URSS » éditions Robert Laffont La moitié des victimes de la Shoah a été assassinée en territoire soviétique. Les meurtres de masse ont eu lieu le plus souvent dans des ravins, aux abords des villes, et les témoins ont été innombrables. N'aurait-on rien écrit là ou tout le monde a vu ou du moins entendu ? Qu'a-t-on tenté de dire contre l'oubli ? Des oeuvres ont été rédigées, souvent d'une force poignante : nombreux sont ceux qui, face aux ravins ou aux ruines des ghettos, ont voulu que l'extermination des Juifs par les nazis puisse rester en mémoire. Mais ces textes, manipulés ou étouffés par la censure, n'ont pas permis qu'advienne « l'ère du témoin » que connaît l'Occident. Ce livre éclaire les raisons qui ont amené les autorités soviétiques à les faire disparaître, comme ils ont fait disparaître les ravins, ou toute la population juive a été assassinée par les nazis. La mémoire de substitution, très vite imposée en URSS, gommant la spécificité de ce qu'ont enduré les Juifs pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, a effacé les traces du génocide une seconde fois. Les problèmes liés à la collaboration avec les nazis d'une partie de la population soviétique ont été refoulés et demeurent une gêne majeure. Pourtant, confrontés à l'assassinat sans pouvoir réagir, certains témoins avaient très tôt décidé d'écrire. Nombreux également ont été les soldats et correspondants de guerre, écrivains jeunes ou expérimentés comme Vassili Grossman ou Ilya Ehrenbourg qui, arrivés sur les lieux lors de la reconquête, n'ont pu se soustraire à la réalité des multiples charniers à ciel ouvert, bien avant de découvrir les camps d'extermination. Le livre révèle cette « littérature des ravins » qui devrait infléchir notre réflexion sur le témoignage, centrée jusque-là sur l'expérience occidentale de l'extermination dans les camps. Le paradigme du témoin rescapé, revenant à la fin de la guerre de lieux très éloignés, n'est plus désormais la seule référence. Écrites sous l'oppression soviétique, censurées, mutilées ou cachées, ces oeuvres sont un appel à la mémoire bafouée à deux reprises.

Lorsqu'il put s'aventurer dans le ravin ou avaient eu lieu les fusillades, il ne trouva que des cendres et se jura de témoigner un jour de ce qu'il avait vu. Il consigna aussitôt dans un cahier d'écolier les souvenirs de ces années atroces et, durant vingt ans, l'augmenta de ses réflexions personnelles, en marge de l'histoire officielle qui taisait la vérité des massacres et des drames qui les ont précédés ou suivis, après la fin de la guerre.
