The Voices of Babyn Yar

In this heartfelt collection of poems, Marianna Kiyanovska honors Holocaust victims by telling their stories of horror, death, and survival in their own imagined voices. The poems share the experiences of ordinary people facing the unbearable events that led to the Babyn Yar massacre in Kyiv, using a first-person, captivating, and sometimes alienating approach.

Conceived as a tribute to those who fell, the book raises complex questions about memory, responsibility, and how we remember those who witnessed evil that borders on the unspeakable.
