Yelena Gorodetsky tells her story of being a survivor of Babi Yar in Kiev where 33,771 Jews were massacred on Sept 29-30 1941. Yevgeny Yevtushenko's poem Babi Yar called attention to this unacknowedged crime, prompting Shostakovich's Babi Yar Symphony #13, to be performed in Melbourne's Hamer Hall.
