The anniversary of the Nazi murder of nearly 34 thousand Jews at Babi Yar Yiddish report 4.10.2020

The Executive Council of Australian Jewry commemorated the anniversary of the Nazi murder of nearly 34 thousand Jews at Babi Yar, north of Kiev, Ukraine, in late September 1941 and urged the Jewish community not to forget and to remind others of the terrible events of the Holocaust that took place there and in the many other places of the former Soviet Union during WWII. Former children of Jewish refugees from Germany and Austria and their descendants, who were interned as “enemy aliens” in the Tatura camp in Victoria, in 1940, after arriving here from Europe via Singapore, took part in an 80th anniversary internet link-up to remember and celebrate their ordeal, which ended in them becoming declared “friendly aliens” and their settling in Australia in 1942.
