Ukraine says ‘Nazis have returned’ as Russian shelling wrecks Drobitsky Yar — the 2nd Holocaust memorial to be bombed during the war. Russian forces damaged a Holocaust memorial near Kharkiv on Saturday, Ukraine’s defense ministry said. “The Nazis have returned,” the ministry said, echoing Zelenskyy’s comparison of the invasion to the Holocaust. The bombing of Drobitsky Yar marks the second Holocaust monument to be bombed during the war. Russian forces shelled and damaged a monument in the Drobitsky Yar Holocaust memorial complex on the outskirts of Kharkiv, Ukraine, on Saturday, Ukraine’s ministry of defense said. “The Nazis have returned,” the ministry said in a Twitter post. “Exactly 80 years later.” Drobitsky Yar is where SS officers shot approximately 15,000 Jews in December 1941, during the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union, according to the World Jewish Congress. Children were thrown into pits alive, where they would quickly freeze to death, to save bullets. The atrocities were memorialized in 2002 when a Holocaust memorial complex featuring a giant black menorah was built.
