Sasha Yemelianova has learned about the Babi Yar massacre in school before, but going on USC Shoah Foundation’s IWalk and leading it for other students has given her a new perspective of the massacre and its memorialization.
German and SS police units murdered nearly the entire Jewish population of Kiev – 33,771 men, women and children – at the Babi Yar ravine outside the city on September 29 and 30, 1941. About 75,000 more Jews as well as communists, Roma, and Soviet prisoners of war were also murdered there over the next few months.

Landing a job at UNESCO was a godsend for Jewish Holocaust survivor Andras Dallos, whose family had been stuck in Hungary, where Jewish persecution remained intense after World War II. The post not only enabled the family to resettle in Islamabad, Pakistan, but also provided financial stability, a pathway for his children to enroll in British universities, and ultimately paved the way for the family to immigrate to the United States.

For many survivors of the Holocaust, persecution began in the hometown, where greed may have swayed perceived friends and neighbors to unspeakable actions. The inhabitance of formerly Jewish-owned apartments by non-Jewish tenants in the early 1940s, specifically in Paris, provides a strong case study of this phenomenon and the basis of a research project developed by Eric Le Bourhis of the Institute for Political Sciences, Nanterre (France).
