rTHERE are houses built almost
1 to the edge of Babi Yar, the
once desolate Russian ravine
where Nazi troops murdered tens
of thousands of Jews. Happy cries
of children at play fill the air
where desperate screams once
went unheard. There are trees and
wild grass—and no monument to
the victims of the greatest single
act of anti-Semitic barbarism per-
petrated by the Nazi invaders on
Soviet soil.
Five years ago, Yevgenii Yev-
tushenko was denounced for a
the wartime tragedy a stark and
detailed description of the mas-
sacre at Babi Yar was published
for Soviet readers. It rebuts the
contention of former Premier Ni-
kita S. Krushchev and others that
Soviet citizens of many nationali-
ties had been the victims. It de-
clares that the Germans had in-

poem dedicated to the Jewish vic-
tims and impliedly critical of the
absence of a monument at the
site. Soviet authorities said a
monument to Jew's alone would
be inappropriate since Russians
and Ukrainians had also been
among the victims.
On the 25th anniversary of
tended to execute only Jews, that
a few Russians and Ukrainians
were shot as a result of confusion
or because the Germans feared
they had seen too much to be
released.
The account, published in
Yunost, a leading Soviet literary
magazine, is the first part of a
new' documentary novel by Ana-
toly Kuznetsov. Kubnetsov’s reve-
lations about the martyrdom of
Russian Jews stand in sharp con-
trast with the failure of the So-
viet Government to accord this
martyrdom recognition.
On September 29 and 30,1941,
most of the Jewish population of
Kiev was brought to Babi Yar,
on the outskirts of the city, where
Einsatzgruppe C, Extermination
Command 4-A, performed the
record-breaking task of machine-
gunning—according to German
sources—33,771 Jews. Other
sources give a figure two to three
times greater.
Three days before the shooting
began, the Nazis ordered all
Jews to report at a major road
junction at 8 a.m. on September
29 to be “resettled.” They were
instructed to bring their valuables
and food for three days. Failure
to report was punishable by death.
Ostensibly the action was tak-
en “as a measure of retaliation”
for a land mine explosion which
had occurred a few days earlier
and which had wrecked the head-
quarters of the Nazi Army’s Rear
Area Command. To make an ex-
