1941 : Babi Yar massacre On September 29, 1941, the Germans began the massacre of Babi Yar near Kiev in Ukraine. The Germans had arrived in Kiev on September 19 and had asked the Jewish population to gather near the place called Babi Yar. For two days, German troops under the leadership of SS exterminated the Jews of Kiev and buried them in a ravine. Nearly 34,000 people were murdered in two days. The mass killings continued in the following months and an estimated number of 100,000 people were killed at Babi Yar.

President Aristide wanted to take action against the narco-traffickers, which was not the taste of the police chief, personally involved in this traffic at the highest level.
