Directions via Google Maps

Babi Yar Triangle was named in 1981 to commemorate one of the darkest events of World War II. On September 29th and 30th, 1941, Nazi soldiers massacred 33,711 Jews in the Babi Yar ravine outside Kiev in Ukraine. Over the course of the 778 days of Nazi rule in Kiev, the ravine became a mass grave for over 100,000 people.

The park features a seating area with an inlaid Star of David, symbol of the Jewish faith, as well as a bronze plaque that commemorates the massacre. Located on Ocean View Avenue and Corbin Place in the Brighton Beach neighborhood, the park functions as both a community playground and well-used gathering space for adults and seniors.
