Monument to the Holocaust victims, architect Achkasov, 2004, 27/5 Lustdorfska Road (Kyiv district). Here, on the site of the former gunpowder warehouses, on October 23, 1941, the Romanian occupiers burned about 22,000 Jews and over 3,400 prisoners of war alive.

On October 22, 1941, a radio-controlled mine exploded in the NKVD building on Engels Street (now Marazliivska Street), which housed the Romanian military commandant's office and the headquarters of the Romanian 10th Infantry Division, which had been planted there by Red Army sappers before the city was surrendered to Soviet troops. Responsibility for the explosion was blamed on Jews and communists. Raids were carried out on the streets and markets of the city and in the suburbs; people who did not know anything about the attack were shot right on the spot near the walls of houses or fences. In response to the explosion of the Romanian army commandant's office, columns of Jewish hostages were driven to Lustdorf Road, to the area of the already mentioned artillery depots, where they were shot or burned alive.
