Look at this situation through my eyes. I currently reside in the Rivne region. Roughly 20 years ago, I had a conversation that went something like this:
"I know that many Jews were shot by Germans in the Rivne region."
"Yes. They are buried in the Sosenki area. We can drive there in a car. Would you like me to introduce you to relatives who can tell you more about it?"
"No, that's not necessary. Where are the Kiev Jews who were shot in Babi Yar buried?"
"I don't know. Isn't your mother from Kiev? You should know where your relatives are buried."
"I don't know anything about them. I'll ask my mother."
Later on:
"Mom, do you know anyone from our acquaintances who was shot in Babi Yar?"
"The Germans shot Ukrainians in Babi Yar, but it was forbidden to talk about it in the Soviet Union, just like with the Holodomor, or else you would be arrested."
I am a descendant of Jews who lived in Kiev during World War II. But I know nothing about the Jews who were shot in Babi Yar. My relatives or acquaintances do not know either. My search led me to the grave of Ukrainians who were shot in Babi Yar and buried near the radio mast. This grave is visible in aerial reconnaissance photographs.
If you know who was shot and where they are buried, please tell me. I would be grateful. We can erect a monument at this location.
