Kortelisy
23-09-2042
One year after the unprecedented massacre of Babi Yar, the village population of Kortelisy was slaughtered. Westerners' culture of remembrance was shaped by "Lidice and Oradour-sur-Glane".
While Ukrainians are presently suffering under the Russian military's attack, this rural place between Brest and the Pripyat was wiped out on September 23, 1942. More than 2,500 civilians died.
Michael Antonyuk, 1985
