SUMMARY:Shadows from the Valley of Death: Investigating Babyn Yar
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a presentation and discussion of Dr. Martin Dean’s work to investigate the 1941 massacre at Babyn Yar and his resulting book\, Investigating Babyn Yar: Shadows from the Valley of Death\, published in 2023. \nThis program is free for FHM members and USF Students & Faculty\, and $5 for non-members. \n  \n Register\n  \nInvestigating Babyn Yar: Shadows from the Valley of Death pieces together the story of the destruction of Kyiv’s Jews using history’s shattered fragments. Martin Dean traces their journey out of the city\, using discarded clothing and distinctive terrain as a trail of breadcrumbs to identify the killing site in the ravine. Shadowy figures in photographs and escape stories from the mass grave reveal the suffering of many that is documented by the survival of just a few. Using aerial photographs\, ground photographs\, and extensive eye-witness testimony\, the author locates specific incidents in the topography to explain what happened on September 29-30\, 1941. Interwoven into the main narrative\, this book examines the massacre’s broader context. Respective chapters describe efforts by Jews to flee the city\, the escalation of Nazi mass shootings\, and the plunder of Jewish property. During its occupation of Kyiv\, the Gestapo established a network of prison camps and deployed a special unit to exhume and burn the corpses at Babyn Yar\, covering up the crime before their hasty retreat. Postwar\, the ravine was scarred by a terrible mudslide in 1961. Then Soviet redevelopment and memorial plans sought to erase both the topography and the Jewish identity of this symbolic site of Holocaust memory. \nMartin Dean received his PhD in European History from Queens’ College\, Cambridge. He has worked as a researcher for the Special Investigations Unit in Sydney\, Australia\, and as the Senior Historian for the Metropolitan Police War Crimes Unit in London\, where he participated as an expert witness and advisor in six Nazi war crimes trials. \nAs a Research Scholar at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum\, he was a Volume Editor for The Encyclopedia of Camps and Ghettos. His publications include Collaboration in the Holocaust (2000) and Robbing the Jews (2008)\, which won a National Jewish Book Award in 2009. He is based in Bethesda\, Maryland and works as a Historical Consultant for Cologne University and other organizations.  \n  \nPartners: \nThe Jack Chester Foundation\n&
