This is a list of victims of the Babi Yar massacre. During September 29—30, 1941, a special team of German SS aided by Ukrainian police killed 33,771 Jews. Subsequent massacres also included Ukrainians and Poles.[1][2] The Babi Yar massacre is considered to be "the largest single massacre in the history of the Holocaust".[3] Executions of Jews, Ukrainians, Gypsies and others continued in Babi Yar throughout the period of the Nazi occupation of Kiev, ending with the beginning of the Battle of Kiev (1943), totalling up to 120,000 victims.[citation needed]
