ISSN0090-5992. doi:10.1080/00905992.2011.565316. Besøkt 27. mai 2020. «At the core of the debate in Ukraine about Babi Yar lies the Holocaust. Between 1941 and 1943 1.5 million Jews perished in Ukraine, yet a full understanding of that tragedy has been suppressed consistently by ideologies and interpretations of history that minimize or ignore this tragedy. For Soviet ideologues, admitting to the existence of the Holocaust would have been against the tenet of a “Soviet people” and the aggressive strategy of eliminating national and religious identities. A similar logic of oneness is being applied now in the ideological formation of an independent Ukraine. However, rather than one Soviet people, now there is one Ukrainian people under which numerous historical tragedies are being subsumed, and the unique national tragedies of other peoples on the territory of Ukraine, such as the massive destruction of Jews, is again being suppressed. According to this political idea assiduously advocated most recently during the Yushchenko presidency, the twentieth century in Ukraine was a battle for liberation. Within this new, exclusive history, the Holocaust, again, has found no real place.»

Besøkt 11. juni 2020. «I hele sovjettiden ble det fortiet på minnesmerket i Kyiv at det var jøder som ble drept der i 1941. For en nyere skildring av dette kan interesserte fordype seg i et verk som på norsk heter «De velvillige» i 2008, skrevet av Jonathan Littell.»
Kinstler, Linda (30. september 2016). «The Playground at the Site of a Massacre». The Atlantic(engelsk). Besøkt 27. mai 2020. «The steep canyon spared their killers the trouble of digging a mass grave. Ultimately, over 100,000 people were murdered at Babi Yar during World War II, including thousands of Roma and Soviet political prisoners along with most of Ukraine’s Jewish community. The site has become emblematic of the “Holocaust by bullets” propagated throughout Eastern Europe, a method of mass murder that preceded the gas chambers of Auschwitz and ensured victims came face-to-face with their killers.»
