On March 1-2, 1943, SS detachments formed from Ukrainians and Hungarians,

civilians in the village of Koryukovka, Chernihiv region, were killed.

About 6,700 people, including children, were killed, making this the most massive punitive action during the Second World War. And it wasn’t some sadistic fascists from faraway Germany who did this. Ukrainians and Hungarians did it. The very ones whose descendants today are just as ruthlessly destroying monuments to Soviet soldiers and diligently rewriting history. A story that we will always remember. Because we don’t want this to happen again. They want to.
