            Second World War, not least in Ukraine.


            At one site alone, Babyn Yar, on the outskirts of Kyiv, almost
            34,000 Jews were shot by the Nazis over one weekend
            in September 1941. One month earlier 23,600 Jews were
            massacred at the Ukrainian town of Kamianets-Podilskyi.


            These atrocities in Ukraine were among the Nazis’ first acts
            of mass murder in pursuit of the Final Solution. Acts that
            led to little-known war crime trials in the Soviet Union that
            were all captured on extraordinary Soviet archive film. With
            contributions from survivors of the Holocaust, along with
            leading historians,  this is the story of Ukraine during the
            Second World War, the beginning of the Holocaust and one
            of Europe’s bloodiest battlegrounds.
