Summary
Babi Yar is a documentary novel by Soviet writer Anatoli Kuznetsov, recounting the Nazi massacre of over 33,000 Jews in a ravine near Kiev in September 1941. Written as eyewitness testimony, Kuznetsov describes his childhood experiences during the German occupation of Ukraine, including the systematic murders at Babi Yar and the broader Holocaust in the region. The uncensored version, published after Kuznetsov defected to the West in 1969, restores material removed by Soviet censors. This powerful work combines personal memoir with historical documentation of one of World War II's most horrific atrocities.
