Vasily Mikhailovsky was four years old when, in late September, 1941, flyers appeared around German-occupied Kyiv, instructing “all Yids” to assemble at an appointed location on the edge of the city. He remembers the day well.
“It was wonderful weather,” Vasily, who is one of three Babyn Yar survivors in Kyiv who is still living, told DW. “Sunny. A truly golden autumn day.”
