In 1999, I visited Ukraine with a church group looking at churches which had hidden Jews during the war. We went to the Babi Yar monument and valley. The monument is the most emotionally painful thing I have ever seen in my life. It represent the people buried underground, focusing to push one mother and baby up above the ground. The back side of the monument is where you can see the other people writhing as they push upward.

Thank you for the visit, it is on my bucket list. My Dad's outfit (Thunderbirds) helped liberate Dachau in 1945 but I believe that a bucket list should have some lows as well as highs. Here is a flat picture of the monument! Yom Tov.
