In Kyiv, the 10th annual March of Remembrance for the victims of Babyn Yar will take place on September 28, 2025.

The tenth annual March of Remembrance for the victims of Babi Yar will take place on September 28, 2025.

Every year, the organizers of the March remind themselves and those around them of the tragedy of Babi Yar, which occurred on September 29 and 30, 1941, when 33,771 Jews were killed.

The organizers of the March, Yevgeny Gorodetsky and Dmitry Yurinov, remind us that not only Jews were killed in Babi Yar, but also Ukrainians, Roma, people of different nationalities and faiths. The mass killings continued until the end of 1943, with more than 100,000 people killed.

The program of the March remains unchanged annually:

12:00 – gathering near the “Kyivska Rus” cinema;
12:05 — the organizers of the March conduct a briefing for participants regarding the route and rules of conduct during the procession;
12:15 — participants of the March proceed in a column to the “Menorah” monument in Babi Yar (the route of the procession is the same as the one taken by Jews in 1941);
13:10 — in Babi Yar, a rabbi will recite the memorial prayer “Kaddish”
13:20 – The March concludes.

It is important to remember that each participant of the March bears personal responsibility for their safety during the event.
