The actor arrived in Kyiv to be a presenter at the third summit of first ladies and gentlemen.
The famous British comedian Stephen Fry visited Babi Yar and shared his impressions.
In particular, the celebrity on his Instagram page told his followers about the location of one of the largest mass executions of Jews.
“If you don’t know about Babi Yar, look it up. A horrible episode in history. Thousands and thousands (33,700 according to some sources) of Jews shot by the Nazis on cliff sides , they were thrown on top of each other in endless layers of the dead. Gypsies, those deemed “mentally disabled,” and many others. In the last days of the war (oh, they realized that they had committed an incredible evil), burned the corpses and scattered the ashes in the air, hoping that the memories would be scattered with them,” he said.
Stephen Fry also did not ignore the World Holocaust Remembrance Center Yad Vashem, adding that it helps to keep the cruel pages of history in memory.
“Memory and Name” exists to restore names and make memory indestructible. Now it’s a great memory, even if it’s infinitely sad,” the filmmaker concluded.
It was previously reported that Stephen Fry, who is now in Kyiv, sharply confronted the Russian invaders.
