81 Anniversary in the time of pain

On September 29-30, commemorative events dedicated to the 81st Anniversary of the tragedy took place at the Babyn Yar National Historical and Memorial Reserve.

An audiovisual installation, "The Black Cube of Time,” was presented, reflecting the idea of a "living wound that will never heal." Through audiovisual effects, the installation helps visitors emotionally feel the echoes of the tragedy, which still haunts us even after 80 years.

On September 29 at 11:00 and 18:00, a joint interfaith event (prayers) was held near the symbolic synagogue "Place for Reflection" and the monument "Menorah."

Also, during these days, other installations were opened for visitors, including "Mirror Field," "Crystal Wall of Crying," symbolic synagogue "Place for Reflection," and the Matviy Weisberg art exhibition "Alien Homes" - a series of paintings depicting the homes of Jews that were destroyed during the Holocaust.

The anniversary in the times of pain, this living pain that the people of Ukraine are experiencing today, reminds us that war is evil and genocide should never exist on Earth.
