Abstract

Einsatzgruppe C was active in the Ukraine and became responsible for the murder of Jews, including the Babi-Yar massacre at Kiev. At first, men only were murdered, but after a number of weeks, women and children became victims, too. The Einsatzgruppe was assisted in its task by the Wehrmacht, the German police, other units of the SS and by both individuals and organized groups of local Ukrainians and Germans. Though no clear orders regarding the scope of the Final Solution seem to have been given, Einsatzgruppe C relentlessly continued pursuing its victims until the act of murder itself became routine.
