In Berlin Christoph Heubner, Executive Vice President of the International Auschwitz Committee, made a statement concerning the damage inflicted on the Babyn Yar Holocaust Memorial during the bombardment of Kyiv’s neighbouring television tower. He said:

“For survivors of the Holocaust throughout the world, the damage inflicted on the Babyn Yar Holocaust Memorial by Russian bombs is a further horrific symbol in this criminal war. Their thoughts and prayers are with the 10,000 Holocaust survivors who live in Ukraine. In these dark hours and days they will be overcome once again by their traumas, and once again they will be forced to fear for their own lives and those of their compatriots.”
