The mass murder of Jews in Kiev lasted until 3 October 1941. During the following months this Valley of Death continued to be used as a killing site for Jews, Ukrainian civilians, Soviet POWs, and Roma and Sinti (Gypsies). According to Soviet sources 100,000–200,000 people were murdered at Babi Yar up until 6 November 1943, when the area was liberated by the Red Army. As stated in the 'Operations Situation Report of Einsatzgruppe C' of 7 October 1941, the Germans claimed to have shot 33,771 Jews in Kiev between September 29 and 30, 1941.
