Also attending the ceremony was Deputy Prime Minister Dmytro Tabachnyk and Kyiv Mayor Oleksandr Omelchenko.
The monument commemorates the mass killings of Jews that began around 29 September 1941. In the first days of the massacres, an estimated 34,000 Jews were killed and their bodies dumped in the Babi Yar ravine. Over the next two years, tens of thousands of other victims were murdered at the site.
