Israeli President Shimon Peres (front) and Israeli Foreign Affairs Minister Avigdor Lieberman lay stones in front of the Menorah monument on Babyn Yar ravine in Kyiv on Nov. 25, 2010.
The official 75th anniversary commemorations of the Nazi massacres that took place at the Babyn Yar ravine in Kyiv will take place in the Ukrainian capital between September 23-29. The Ukrainian Jewish Encounter, a Canada-based non-governmental organization, working in cooperation with the World Jewish Congress, Ukraine's government and other Ukrainian Jewish and diaspora organizations, will also sponsor a series of public events in memory of what took place.
