The attack hit the Jewish community in Los Angeles as the city is also home to a memorial site of the event.
LOS ANGELES -- A Russian missile attack hit an historic site marking one of the greatest Nazi atrocities of World War II: The museum meant to commemorate a key site of the Holocaust.
"To the world: what is the point of saying never again for 80 years, if the world stays silent when a bomb drops on the same site of Babyn Yar? At least 5 killed. History repeating..." Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a tweet after the bombing. The Simon Wiesenthal Center is a Jewish global human rights organization that researches the Holocaust and hate and then puts it into historical and contemporary context.
"To see that damaged unfortunately, a circle, a full circle of tears and suffering and tragedy and now we're talking about Babi Yar again in the midst of suffering of the Ukrainian people," Rabbi Cooper said."It's almost beyond belief."
