In 1941, German soldiers murdered more than 30,000 Jews from Kiev within one and a half days. What took place at the Babi Yar gorge was one of the most horrific massacres of all time.
Berlin, September 29th, 2020 (The Berlin Spectator) Eight decades ago, the Wehrmacht, Nazi Germanys army, was busy attacking and conquering the better part of Europe while murdering millions of Jews and members of other minorities in its death camps, forced labor camps and in massacres on streets, in woods and at other locations. Can it get any worse than shooting people on the street, just because they are Jews, Roma or homosexuals? Apparently, the answer is yes.
Incomprehensible Crime
The massacre of Babi Yar outclassed most, if not all, local murder campaigns the Germans were responsible for during World War II. What happened at the Babi Yar gorge, located just outside the city of Kiev, is too terrible to comprehend or to describe.
In September of 1941, Field Marshal Walter Karl Ernst August von Reichenau commanded the Wehrmachts Sixth Army which conquered Kiev in cooperation with Task Force C. The latter was part of Hitlers Schutzstaffel known as SS. After the invasion, several explosions rocked the city, in which some residents and German soldiers were killed.
Disguised as Evacuation
About 150,000 Jews who had lived in Kiev had already fled, before the Germans came. When von Reichenau and his men decided to kill all remaining Jews, 50,000 were still in Kiev. Most of them were mothers with their children and elderly people. The Nazis justified the murder campaign as revenge action for those explosions, and they disguised it as the evacuation of all Jews in the city.
On September 28th, 1941, the Nazi murderers posted notifications on walls all over Kiev. They said that all Jews needed to assemble on September 29th, 1941, exactly 79 years ago today, close to the train station. They should wear warm clothing and bring their documents, valuables and money, it read. Whoever did not follow the order would be shot.
Thirty-Six Hours
The notification did not say that all Jews who adhered to the orders would be taken to the Babi Yar gorge and murdered in cold blood, including babies, children of all ages, their parents, grandparents and everyone else. Nor did it say that this was going to be one of the worst massacres to be committed by Nazi Germanys Wehrmacht in the ongoing war.
Once on site, the Jews were ordered to take all of their clothes off. Dina Pronicheva was one of the few survivors. Her account of the events at Babi Yar describes the most terrible crime on Earth. No adjective could really do it justice: They had to lie down on top of the other murdered people and wait for the shots from above. Then the next group came. For thirty-six hours, Jews came to die, Dina Pronicheva was quoted saying after the war.
33,771 Victims in 36 Hours
Some people died while thinking of others, like the mother of the beautiful, 15-year-old Sara who asked to be shot with her daughter. Until the last moment, she was worried. If she would see her daughter being shot, she would not have to watch her being raped. Another naked mother spent her last moments breastfeeding her baby. When the newborn was thrown into the gorge alive, she jumped after the child.
According to the SS, which was proud of its work, 33,771 Jews were shot within 36 hours. The number was part of a filed SS event report. Jews who were not dead yet were buried alive when the Wehrmacht blew up the edges of the gorge.
The Babat Sisters
There were only a handful survivors like Dina Pronicheva. She played dead while the Germans shot everyone who was still moving. Then she managed to crawl out from under the bodies, and through the soil that was covering the tens of thousands of the victims.
Seventy-nine years after the massacre of Babi Yar, Nazi Germanys successor state, namely the Federal Republic of Germany, is a free, democratic country that is still in the process of coming to terms with its horrific past. But there are those who demand to have the right to be proud of the achievements of German soldiers in the two world wars, as Alexander Gauland of the AfD did. Some eleven percent of all Germans support the extremist right-wing party.
Malvina Babat was four years old, her sister Polina was three (see main photo at top of page) when they were murdered. They became two of the 33,771 victims of the massacre of Babi Yar.
The article takes a crack at the AfD and German WW1 veterans as well...How on earth is that relevant?
The SS called them “Einsatzgruppen.’’ They were mostly made of reservists in their late 30’s and 40’s and would go on what they liked to call ‘’Juden jagd’ or “Jew hunts’’.
“Right wing’’ mein arse! The Nazis were Leftists!
“Most of those who served with the Sixth Army did not return to Germany.”
Yup; Stalingrad in 1942-1943 kind of took care of that problem.
A 2001 film “Conspiracy” used the actual minutes/notes from the Wannsee Conference in the presentation.
The same spirits that possessed NAZI Germany and Soviet Russia have now come to the USA. Luke 11:24-26 (Matt 12, Mark 3) is primarily about Nations that reject God and become Demon Possessed worse than they were before Jesus came...
Industrial efficiency of the 1940s. In todays high tech, big pharma, surveillance state, just think of how efficient and sanitized of a death machine the Leftists could build? You might even be able to scare them into their own personal oven by taking vaccines...
SMH 😞
This is also an example of what can happen if you let government become All-Powerful.
Bump for reference
I read a book titled “Babi Yar” that details these events. It must be 40 years or older now.
Not for the squeamish

#9 Socialists use abortion and withholding medical care to kill. Look up England Liverpool pathway, dailymail. They kill 120,000 people a year and call it free healthcare.
Sound familiar with chinese virus testing? Positive test results = more money.
Step it up and kill people for more money.

Plus Himmler puked at an execution, so he decided there had to be more humane ways, more "humane" for the Germans, that is.
Communists never use the term “Nazi”, they always use “Fascist”, because to use “Nazi” would acknowledge they were fellow Socialists.
