Before it happened, Soviet troops that were in Kiev, which is a city in Ukraine, and planted many bombs in and around the city in order to weaken the German troops.

The people who were responsible for the explosives did not get blamed, however, instead the Germans blamed the Jews. Due to the fact that they were wrongly accused, many people believed it was the Jews fault.

Many people thought that the Germans were going to relocate the Jews to another place, but were mistaken. The Jews then arrived to a place where they would meet certain death, The Babi Yar
