KIEV, Ukraine — Jewish groups on Thursday condemned a plan by authorities in the Ukrainian capital to build a hotel on a killing field in the Babi Yar massacre during the Holocaust.
The controversy erupted days before the 68th anniversary of the killing of more than 30,000 Jews in September 1941 at Babi Yar, a ravine that became choked with the bodies of victims shot at its edges.
Legislators approved a plan last week to build dozens of hotels, including one across the street from a monument commemorating the victims.
