On September 29-30, 1941, SS and German police units and their auxiliaries, under guidance of members of Einsatzgruppe  C, murdered the Jewish population of Kiev at Babi Yar, a ravine northwest of the city. 

This photograph shows groups of Jews being forced to hand over their possessions and undress before being shot in the ravine.
