Même si de nouveaux pourparlers sont annoncés, les combats continuent en #Ukraine. Et hier on a vu une frappe russe sur la zone d’un #mémorial_juif à #Kiev. Un acte qui renvoie un miroir très troublant aux propos de #Poutine sur la « dénazification » de l’Ukraine.

We stand with the Ukrainian people and condemn the continued Russian attacks on innocent lives. Russia’s distortion of the Holocaust as a pretext to invasion and today’s damage inflicted on #BabynYar are grave threats to #Holocaust_memory.

On September 19, 1941, German forces entered the city of Kyiv (Kiev), the capital of Ukraine. Along with a large part of German-occupied Ukraine, the city was incorporated into the Reichskommissariat Ukraine which had been established on September 1 with Erich Koch as administrator (Reichskommissar).
Before the German invasion, some 160,000 Jews resided in Kyiv. This was approximately 20 percent of the total population of the capital. Following the start of Operation Barbarossa in June 1941, approximately 100,000 Jews fled Kyiv or were already serving in the Soviet military. By the time the Germans occupied Kyiv, there were about 60,000 Jews remaining in the city. Most of those who remained had been unable or unwilling to flee earlier. This included mostly women, children, the elderly, and those who were ill.
