Kiev - World War II Memorial Vanalized
Kiev - A memorial near the site where Nazis killed tens of thousands of Ukrainian Jews was badly vandalized.
Vandals smashed the inscription plate on the menorah-shaped memorial, erected in 1991 by the Jewish community near the site of the World War II massacre.
In September 1941, Nazis marched tens of thousands of local Jews to the edge of the Babi Yar ravine and shot them.
More than 33,700 Jews were killed in a few days, and within months the toll is believed to have reached more than 100,000, including thousands of Red Army prisoners of war and resistance fighters.
