29–30 September 1941: Nazi Einsatzgruppen killing squads round up all the Jews of Kiev, Ukraine, shoot them, and dump the bodies in large ravines, killing approximately 33,771 in what became known as the Babi Yar massacre. One truck driver noted that after the men, women, and children were forced to undress, “they were led into the ravine which was about 150 metres long and 30 metres wide and a good 15 metres deep ... When they reached the bottom of the ravine they were seized by members of the Schutzpolizei and made to lie down on top of Jews who had already been shot ... The corpses were literally in layers. A police marksman came along and shot each Jew in the neck with a submachine gun ... I saw these marksmen stand on layers of corpses and shoot one after the other...”
