JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Israel’s Yad Vashem World Holocaust Remembrance Centre voiced its “vehement condemnation” of a Russian attack on Tuesday near a Kyiv monument to Babyn Yar, site of a World War Two massacre of Jews by German occupation troops and Ukrainian auxiliaries.
“We call on the international community to take concerted measures to safeguard civilian lives as well as these historical sites because of their irreplaceable value for research, education and commemoration of the Holocaust,” Yad Vashem said in a statement.
