A man prepares to unveil the new monument for victims of the Babi Yar massacre in Kiev, Ukraine, Tuesday, Sept. 29, 2009. The monument is a metal statue representing a 12-year-old boy, the main character of Anatoly Kuznetsov's novel "Babi Yar" who is reading an announcement on a brick wall ordering all Kiev's Jews to report to the authorities with their money, identification documents and belongings. Many Jews thought they were being shipped to a ghetto, but what met them was their death. More than 33,700 Jews were rounded up and shot at Babi Yar over 48 hours beginning on Sept. 29, 1941.
