This night the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church and AUCCRO convey a prayer of solidarity and deep condolences to our brothers, Jewish people. Let us hear the voice of Babyn Yar today and say this “Never again!” addressing Ukraine and the whole world, - urged His Beatitude Sviatoslav, the Head of the UGCC praying for victims of Babyn Yar on its 80th death anniversary.

Together with His Beatitude Sviatoslav at Babyn Yar Holocaust Memorial Center were also praying Metropolitan Epiphany the Head of the Orthodox Church in Ukraine and Rabbi Moshe Reuven Azman, the Chief Rabbi of Ukraine.
