Interior Minister Aryeh Deri, who spent a number of days in Uman being mispallel at the tziyun of Rav Nachman ZY”A, also visited Babi Yar, a site where over 100,000 Jews were massacred by the Nazis YM”S.

Deri laid a wreath as is customary for dignitaries and he received Kaddish. In his comments he stated, “The anger here is terrible. The Nazis treated the Jews worse than animals, but on the other hand there is something comforting.

“I am a minister in the Israeli Government, and I come here and recite Kaddish. The Jewish community here and in Israel are blossoming. They couldn’t beat us! Am Yisrael Chai!”
