About this deal

The assumption the Jews make — as do onlooking Ukrainians like Anatoli — is that they are to be escorted to the railway station and deported to a new life somewhere, possibly even Palestine, the optimists suggest. But their destination is closer than they can imagine. At the edge of Kyiv is a deep ravine-cum-quarry that cuts its way out into the countryside — Babi Yar. The massacre at Babyn Yar was one of many mass shootings perpetrated by the Nazi Germans beginning in 1941. It was also one of the largest mass killings at a single location during World War II. However, the scale of the slaughter at Babi Yar – and its systematic nature – made it a turning point in the Holocaust.

In October 1943, the Soviets invited a delegation of American journalists to Babyn Yar, gave them a tour of the ravine and told them of the atrocities that had occurred there. Their reports were bafflingly contradictory. Though hair and bones were mixed in with the dirt under their feet, some of the journalists considered these fragments just that: pieces of some bigger, unclear whole. Others dissented. In a frustrated letter to his parents, Bill Downs (Newsweek, CBS) concluded: “It seems that the Presbyterian mind of the average American cannot accept the fact that any group of people can coolly sit down and decide to torture thousands of people. … This refusal to believe these facts,” he noted, “is probably the greatest weapon the Nazis have.” Alfred Dreyfus was a French officer, unfairly dismissed from service in 1894 due to trumped-up charges prompted by anti- Semitism.
