Ukraine: Children
built 198 days ago
On January 7, 2005, ten Orthodox Jewish youths (all around the age of 13) and three adults were assaulted by neo-Nazis as they made their way from a synagogue to their rabbi’s home in Simferopol, Ukraine. According to Anatoly Gendin, chairman of the Reform Jewish community in the city and a partner with UCSJ's Chicago affiliate, the Jews were ambushed by around 20 skinheads who appeared to be 5-10 years older than their victims. Yelling “Here are the Jews!” the neo-Nazis threw the children and the rabbi’s wife to the ground and started to beat them. Two 13-year-old girls were hospitalized, one with a broken skull, and another with severe damage to her face which necessitated an operation.

Starvation quickly ensued throughout the Ukraine, with the most vulnerable, children and the elderly, first feeling the effects of malnutrition. The once-smiling young faces of children vanished forever amid the constant pain of hunger. It gnawed away at their bellies, which became grossly swollen, while their arms and legs became like sticks as they slowly starved to death.
