“Babi Yar in History and Memory: Seventy Years After a Mass Murder”

Wednesday, October 5, 2011

2:00 – 6:00 pm

International Lounge, Usdan Student Center

Babi Yar was the name of a ravine on the outskirts of Kiev where the single largest mass murder of Soviet Jews occurred on September 29-30, 1941. This symposium explores four aspects of the event through different lenses: Babi Yar in history, Soviet responses to Babi Yar after the reoccupation of Kiev by the Red Army, representations of Babi Yar in Jewish literature, and its symbolic meaning for the Russian intelligentsia.
