This year marks the 80th anniversary of the Babyn Yar, also known as the Babi Yar, massacre, when in a span of 48 hours, nearly 34,000 Jews were brought to and murdered in the Babyn Yar ravine on the outskirts of Kyiv in then Nazi-occupied Ukraine. While the Nazis attempted to hide evidence of the massacres, eyewitnesses and other evidence indicate the truth of the atrocities at Babyn Yar, which became one of the many symbols of the Holocaust.

This is only one example of genocide that has taken place in the 20th century. Rwanda, Bosnia, Cambodia, Armenia...the list continues. SIS professor Mirjana Morosini will lead a panel discussion with several scholars and experts on the topics of the Babyn Yar massacre, genocide around the world, and the prevention of future horrors like this. An audience Q&A follows the conversation.
