Shelley Blond
Edward  Serotta introduces our wartime stories while walking through Babyn Yar,  where tens of thousands of Jews were murdered by German soldiers in  September 1941. The actor Shelley Blond reads an excerpt from a  remarkable memoir. When Petrowskaja asked her father what his  grandmother’s name was, he shrugs and tells her he was but four years  old. “Maybe Esther,” he says. And Maybe Esther walked to the edge of the  ravine in Babyn Yar.
