A new and unusual open-air synagogue, made from reclaimed oak taken from buildings around Ukraine and designed like a book that opens and closes, at the Babyn Yar Holocaust Memorial Center on Thursday, April 8, 2021 in Kyiv, Ukraine. The synagogue is part of a larger expansion of the memorial complex conceptualized by artist and filmmaker Ilya Khrzhanovsky. In September 1941, more than 33,771 Jewish residents of Kyiv were murdered by the Nazis at the site over the course of two days, and more than 70,000 between 1941 and 1943.
