This week, KATUSHA presents a depiction of one of the worst atrocities of the Second World War, the September 1941 massacre at Babi Yar. The United States Holocaust Museum describes the massacre on it’s website:
“On September 29-30, 1941, SS and German police units and their auxiliaries, under guidance of members of Einsatzgruppe(mobile killing unit) C, murdered the Jewish population of Kiev at Babi Yar, a ravine northwest of the city. This was one of the largest mass murders at an individual location during World War II. As the victims moved into the ravine, Einsatzgruppe detachments shot them in small groups. According to reports by the Einsatzgruppe to headquarters, 33,771 Jews were massacred in two days. ”

Our story depicts a daring rescue amid the chaos which, sadly, is improbable: of the tens of thousands murdered at Babi Yar there are reports of less than 30 survivors.

Well, if you're gonna kill unarmed civilians, you may as well make it happen with as little dignity as possible, right? (That is a satirical and dark half-joke, by the by, for anyone's reference)
