Thousands Were Told to Bring Their Suitcases. None of Them Knew Where They Were Really Going.

People who dreamed about tomorrow.

The victims of Babi Yar were not statistics.

They were sons and daughters.

Mothers and fathers.

Friends and neighbors.

Their lives mattered then.

And they still matter now.

Because remembering them is not only about honoring the past.

It is about protecting the future.

And making sure that future generations never forget where hatred and dehumanization can lead.

Some stories deserve to be remembered forever.

This is one of them.
