Ceremony at Babi Yar PRESIDENT OF HUNGARY JANOS ADER, GERMAN PRESIDENT JOACHIM GAUCK, UKRAINIAN PRESIDENT PETRO POROSHENKO AND WIFE MARYNA POROSHENKO, PRESIDENT OF THE EUROPEAN COUNCIL DONALD TUSK, U.S. SECRETARY OF COMMERCE PENNY PRITZKER AND ADVISOR TO THE PRESIDENT OF UKRAINE BORIS LOZHKIN The official ceremony was led by Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko who said, We have a moral obligation to remember all the victims of the Nazis. There have been those [in Ukraine] for which one felt shame. And this, too, cannot be erased from our collective memory. Collaborators have left their mark in almost all Nazi-occupied European countries, but they do not represent their people. Further remarks were made by German President Joachim Gauck, President of the European Council Donald Tusk, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker, French philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy, and World Jewish Congress CEO Robert Singer. Attendees also included Deputy Knesset Speaker of Israel Tali Ploskov and President of Hungary Janos Ader. PRESIDENT PETRO POROSHENKO SPEAKING AT THE CEREMONY AT BABI YAR
6 President Gauck stated Germans must approach Babi Yar with unspeakable guilt It is immeasurable suffering that we see, and unspeakable crimes that we Germans bear the blame for, when we look into the abyss that is the Shoah. Speaking to possible future atrocities, European Council President Tusk said when confronted with evil and violence, humankind cannot be divided only into DURING THE CEREMONY AT BABI YAR victims, perpetrators and bystanders. We must try to emulate those who are called the Righteous Among the Nations. Israeli President Reuven Rivlin spoke earlier to the Parliament but left before the ceremony upon hearing the news of the death of former Israeli President Shimon Peres. The program culminated with a candlelight procession by the speakers and participants at the Menorah-shaped memorial that was erected on the 50 th anniversary of Babi Yar (to specifically identify victims as Jews). This was the first time Ukraine held an official ceremony at the Jewish memorial.
