Ukrainian officials have opened a synagogue at Babyn Yar near Kyiv - a place where the Nazis murdered nearly 34,000 Jews in World War Two.
Babyn Yar was a ravine where Jews from Kyiv were lined up and shot dead by the invading Germans over two days in 1941.
The death toll rose above 100,000 over the next two years as Hitler s Nazi SS murdered more Jews there, along with Roma (Gypsies) and Soviet prisoners.
The synagogue is part of a new memorial being developed in the area.
