#onthisday, 1942, the Kharkov Ghetto is liquidated. Over the next 3 days over 15,000 Jews would be murdered by Nazis (aided by Ukrainian collaborators) and thrown into a massive ravine / pit by Drobytsky Yar.

.

We remember those slain in blessing and continue to work to ensure that nothing of the sort ever occurs again.
