While the war in Ukraine may no longer be the lead story in the media, the people of the stricken country continue to experience the cruelest of atrocities. There are no words imaginable to describe their suffering.
It's cold these days in Ireland. What must it be like in Ukraine, where people are without water, electricity, heating, food and shelter?
On this day in 1941 German troops Murdered over 15,000 Jews at Drobytsky Yar, south east of Kharkiv.
In December 1941, German, troops on their march across the then Soviet Union began killing local residents over the following year. Approximately 16,000 people, the majority being Jews, were killed.
On15 December 1941, when the temperature was minus 15C, approximately 15,000 Jews were shot. Children were thrown into pits alive, to save bullets, in the expectation that they would quickly freeze to death.
It's significant and worth noting that the site's menorah monument was smashed by Russian forces on March 26, 2022.
Why on God's name have the people of Ukraine to suffer so much at the hands of the Germans and now under the brutality and violence of the Russians.
Can no power, no State, no organisation stop this badness?
