bcb723 Not to get preachy & up on a soapbox but as someone with a passion for History there has been a shocking rise in the U.S. over the past four years of fascism, anti-intellectualism & a lacking understanding of basic historical facts in a good part of our population. "Babi Yar" is an intense imaginary soundtrack to a real historical nightmare that highlights the mass shooting perpetrated by the Nazis in the Ukraine during WWII. Read the summary - this shit could happen again. Wake up and resist. Favorite track: Babi Yar.

Rotzettazz As immersive as it can be - and in this case, it is really hard to assume. I listened to this album while reading some books about the Shoah and the Nazi concentration camps. What I read became extremely real with this soundtrack, particularly this feeling of constant fear.

BABI YAR

The largest mass shooting perpetrated by the Einsatzgruppen took place on the 29th and 30th of September 1941 at Babi Yar, a ravine northwest of Kiev, a city in Ukraine that had fallen to the Germans on the 19th of September. The perpetrators included a company of Waffen-SS attached to Einsatzgruppe C under Rasch, members of Sonderkommando 4a under SS-Obergruppenführer Friedrich Jeckeln, and some Ukrainian auxiliary police. The Jews of Kiev were told to report to a certain street corner on the 29th of September; anyone who disobeyed would be shot. Since word of massacres in other areas had not yet reached Kiev and the assembly point was near the train station, they assumed they were being deported. People showed up at the rendezvous point in large numbers, laden with possessions and food for the journey.

After being marched two miles north-west of the city centre, the victims encountered a barbed wire barrier and numerous Ukrainian police and German troops. Thirty or forty people at a time were told to leave their possessions and were escorted through a narrow passageway lined with soldiers brandishing clubs. Anyone who tried to escape was beaten. Soon the victims reached an open area, where they were forced to strip, and then were herded down into the ravine. People were forced to lie down in rows on top of the bodies of other victims, and they were shot in the back of the head or the neck by members of the execution squads.

The murders continued for two days, claiming a total of 33,771 victims. Sand was shovelled and bulldozed over the bodies and the sides of the ravine were dynamited to bring down more material. Anton Heidborn, a member of Sonderkommando 4a, later testified that three days later that there were still people alive among the corpses. Heidborn spent the next few days helping smooth out the "millions" of banknotes taken from the victims' possessions. The clothing was taken away, destined to be re-used by German citizens. Jeckeln's troops shot more than 100,000 Jews by the end of October.
