The Jewish Memorial

On the site where the tower was built, the Jewish cemetery of Lukianovka existed since the late 19th century. The destruction of this burial place of the Jewish community began with the German occupation during World War II then continued and was completed in the 1960s. Many graves were moved to the new cemetery and this was officially closed between 1961 and 1966 and the telecommunications antenna was built on it. The site was forever remembered as the place where the massacre of Babij Jar took place, in fact, not far away is the Holocaust Memorial dedicated to him.
