Babyn Yar: Past, Present, Future

A multidisciplinary history of Ukraine's "Holocaust by bullets," with new research, archival materials and responses by artists

This substantial volume provides an overview of the efforts made by the Babyn Yar Holocaust Memorial Center since its founding in 2016 to document, study, disseminate, commemorate and preserve the history of Babyn Yar.

Babyn Yar: Past, Present, Future includes a historical overview of these events, the Holocaust in Ukraine and the ravine itself. It also showcases archival imagery, contemporary photographs of the site, groundbreaking research produced by the Center for Spatial Technologies, and artistic and architectural interventions by Marina Abramovic, Maksym Demydenko and Denis Shibanov, Manuel Herz, Andr s Jaque / Office for Political Innovation, Anna Kamyshan, Oleh Shovenko and others.
