A group of young people burned an Israeli flag outside a Ukraine Holocaust memorial in Kiev yesterday, Holocaust Remembrance Day, the JTA (Jewish Telegraphic Agency) website reports today (May 6, 2016).
The flag burning near the Babi Yar ravine -- where 30,000 Jews were murdered over the course of two days in September 1941 -- was captured on surveillance video.
Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko condemned the incident, referring to the flag burners as "young vandals." He called on law enforcement authorities to investigate.
"This happened on the national Holocaust Remembrance Day, when the Jewish people all over the world remember the 6 million victims who perished during World War II," Klitschko said.
