Babi Yar Massacre

Starting from September 29 of 1941, the Nazi army began the mass murder of 100,000 people at a death pit known as Babi Yar in the city of Kiev, Ukraine. The story traces the sequence of events that led to the murder of thousands of these victims: the Pavlovskaya patients. It started with Joseph Stalin’s collective farm program which resulted in the famine that killed over 20 million people. That resulted in thousands of heartbroken communists to betray this system by passing out leaflets about the failure of communism. That resulted in the arrests and commitment into the Pavlovskaya mental hospital. But how did these people end up getting murdered by the Nazis at Babi Yar? Mr. Sanchez uses film evidence to prove that U.S. mental hospitals are being used in the same way as the Pavlovskaya. Could a similar massacre happen in the U.S.?
