Russian Strike Stirs Symbolism At Kyiv Holocaust Site

In 1941, Kyiv's World War II German occupiers shot dead 33,000 Jewish prisoners at Babi Yar. A memorial to the massacre lies a short distance from the tower, so far untouched.
Eighty years after the ravine at Babi Yar served as the mass grave of 30,000 Jews murdered by Ukraine's Nazi occupiers, five more corpses lay on the ground Wednesday covered in dust and fine layer of snow.
A father, a mother and their teenage son and daughter were killed as they left a store with provisions before Kyiv's nightly curfew.
A fifth body was that of a television journalist, judging by the press card that police found on him and shown to AFP, after Tuesday's Russian attack on the capital's television mast.
State broadcasting resumed with a back-up antenna shortly after the missile damaged but failed to topple the tower.
