War And Remembrance Part 7 Babi Yar Massacre

Viewer Discretion Advised

Babi Yar , Babyn is a ravine in the Ukrainian capital Kiev and a site of a series of massacres carried out by the Nazis during their campaign against the Soviet Union. The most notorious and the best documented of these massacres took place on September 29--30, 1941, wherein 33,771 Jews were killed in a single operation. The decision to kill all the Jews in Kiev was made by the military governor, Major-General Friedrich-Georg Eberhardt, the Police Commander for Army Group South, SS-Obergruppenführer Friedrich Jeckeln, and the Einsatzgruppe C Commander Otto Rasch. It was carried out by Sonderkommando 4a soldiers, along with the aid of the SD and SS Police Battalions.
Other victims included thousands of Soviet POWs, communists, Gypsies (Romani people), Ukrainian nationalists and civilian hostages. It is estimated that between 100,000 - 150,000 more lives were taken at Babi Yar

This incredible mini-series pulled no punches. Amazing that a network broadcast could be so courageous without falling into maudlin soap opera as Hollywood so often does depicting the Holocaust.

Take the sequence on Babi Yar, in just a few minutes it depicts graphically and straightforwardly the shattering horror of what happened. It shows large crowds of people, it shows the Ukrainian collaborators helping the Nazis. Kudos to Dan Curtis for having the courage to produce this series!

The inhumanity of man towards man knows no limits...

[tommyt1971]

@jpnarino Unfortunately you're right. The final solution practically repeated itself in Bosnia 50 yrs later and Cambodia 30 yrs later. Such a damn shame.

Its suprising to see that people, even if they are naked and being herded like cattle to certain death, did not do anything at all to try and fight back. I'd think I'd rather die resisting than complying to Nazi thugs.

@FredDude27 The condemmed man was sentenced to die for committing a crime. The Jews were condemmed to die just because they were Jews. Why should innocent people accept death just because someone hated them enough to want them dead? The fighters of the Warsaw Ghetto did fight back even though they were hopelessly outnumbered, as did the Jews in the Sobibor death camp.

Fuck the ice on the head.

I would fight back even if I had to die.

[FredDude27]

@TRUMPER007

Why does not the condemned man fight back when he is led to his execution via electric chair, hanging, firing squad etc etc? Even when it is lawful and "right"?

Sometimes you simply have to accept death as it comes.
