Upcoming Virtual Lecture at NYU
MONDAY, MARCH 22 | 3:30 PM
Following the Evidence to Babyn Yar
A virtual lecture by Dr. Martin Dean, Historical Researcher
Dr. Dean will examine the complex history of the Babyn Yar ravine, where more than 33,000 Jewish men, women, and children were shot by units of the German SS and Police in late September 1941. By following the evidence from the photographs, witness testimonies, and aerial images, Dr. Dean has pieced together the route taken by the Jews into the ravine and identified the site of the mass shootings. With the aid of a 3-D model, a virtual reconstruction of the terrain has been achieved, visualizing the path on which the Jews took their last steps into the Valley of Death.
The Babyn Yar Holocaust Memorial Center is planning a permanent memorial complex close to the site that will open in 2026. Dr. Dean’s research is part of a broader effort by the BYHMC to establish the truth about what happened at Babyn Yar and inform the public.
