This is the beginning of the Victory Day celebration. Some main religious frigures came and made a presentation, singing and speaking then you will see below the military presents. I will upload some film we took of the event as soon as the web page fixes their film upload site.

They still use the old Soviet Hammer and Sickle symble.

Some different branches of the military.

Police all over the place.

Here and below are other branchs of the military.

This is the taxi driver we call all the time to get us around. Sometimes we have to use him most of the day when we do missionary apartment checks. We were always asking him, along with other couple missionaries, to have the missionaries over to teach him. We found out while visiting this mamoral that he was Jewish. Now we know why he was alway reluctent. He is a wonderful person. He took us to this Jewish holacost mamoral that is on the outside boundries of the city of Kharkov. There are others like it in Ukraine.

This is a Manora before you get to the place we stood in the first picture.

This is a plack explaining what took place here. These people were not ghetto type people it is just that they were forced into these ghettos before they were finally killed.

This is a plack up the stairs where we were standing and below this mamoral is a room with all the names they could find of the people that were killed here.

In this ravien by the row of green trees is where the bodies were thrown after the people was shot. They are still there today. I can't imagine what kind of thinking goes into why someone would do such a thing.

This is a popular Provaslovic Church in Kharkov. It is a very old church.

As you will see in the next few pictures they are very beautiful with many pictures and lots of gold or brass decorations. But you will notice there are no benches to sit on to meditate. They are mostly symbols of what they should be for. People come in and it is very quiet and they can walk around and meditate and cross themselves and then leave. There is certain spirit but churches are not funtional they are just symbols. They have places you can donate to them.
