This Day in the History of Evil
On this day in 1941, the Babi Yar Massacre took place over two days (September 29-30). Using just clubs and Mauser K-98s, the Germans killed 33,771 Jewish men, women and children near Kiev in the Ukraine. That's a rate of about 700 an hour. It is disturbing to know that they became much, much more efficient once they began losing the war a few months later.
