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!�
