September - October, 1941

"SS murders of Soviet Jews escalate as German troops push east toward Moscow. 48,000 are killed at Odessa, Ukraine, and at Kiev, Ukraine.

"More than 20,000 Jews are executed in the former eastern provinces of Poland."


"The 33,771 victims of the Babi Yar massacre included Jews of all ages and from all walks of life.
The perpetrators showed no mercy for the elderly, women, or even children.
Among those murdered were Klara Halef-Miropolsky and her husband, Joseph."

100,000-150,000 others were killed at Babi Yar, according to wiki, so the jews were a third to a fifth of those murdered. I guess none of the other victims need remembered?

Other victims included thousands of Soviet POWs, communists, Gypsies (Romani people), Ukrainian nationalists and civilian hostages. It is estimated that between 100,000 and 150,000 more lives were taken at Babi Yar
