Over the next two years, the Germans would continue to use the site as a killing ground, murdering another 70,000 individuals—including Romani people, psychiatric patients, prisoners of war and other civilians—before the Red Army liberated the city in November 1943. The mass-murder was to be carried out by units under the command of Rasch and Blobel, who were ultimately responsible for many atrocities in Soviet Ukraine during the summer and autumn of 1941. An old woman, Maria Lutsenko, who lived in the cemetery house overlooking the ravine, told Anatoli of the atrocity that she saw.

Minor issues present such as mild cracking, inscriptions, inserts, light foxing, tanning and thumb marking. Despite many efforts, there was no memorial at the site until the Soviets installed a monument in 1976.
