Re: post 3797
In Kyiv there is a large park on the site of Babin Yar, where the Germans murdered 10s of thousands of Jewish children.

"Dedicated to the children shot at Babin Yar in 1941"
Many hundreds of non-Jews who opposed the Nazi round up of Ukrainan Jews - including several high-ranking Orthodox Christian clerics - were also killed and buried there.

"Archimandrit (Prior) Olexandr Vinshnyakov, shot in 1941"
I was told that each spring, and after heavy rain showers, human bones wash up in the ravine running through the site.

What is also sad, is that the ultra-nationalists started a rumor that the Jewish community was demanding the site be turned over to them so that Jewish businessmen could build a casino or some such nonsense.

Lovely spot for a memorial.

Is this one of the reports that I ran across, a year ago, that was for Jewish people, and was along side the train tracks.

My mind pulls up Estonia as the Country.

Do we really know how many Jews were murdered?

And they are still finding mass graves in Iraq.

Maybe the humans are not worthy of this earth.

I see little difference, between the nazi, communists and muslims, they all run on the thought of, "if they are different, then kill them."

It makes me very sad that this world needs to build memorials to celebrate the life of a child, that has been murdered.
