Rich Text Format
) As an example, the following RTF code would be rendered as follows: This is some bold text. Character encoding A standard RTF file can only consist of 7-bit ASCII characters, but can use escape sequences to encode other characters. The two character escapes are code page escapes and, starting with RTF 1.5, Unicode escapes. In a code page escape, two hexadecimal digits following a backslash and typewriter apostrophe denote a character taken from a Windows code page. For example, if the code page is set to Windows-1256, the sequence \'c8 will encode the Arabic letter ''bāʼ'' ب. It is also possible to specify a "Character Set" in the preamble of the RTF document and associate it to a header. For example, the preamble has the text \f3\fnil\fcharset128, then, in the body of the document, the text \f3\'bd\'f0 will represent the code point 0xbd 0xf0 from the Character Set 128 (which corresponds to the Shift-JIS code page), which encodes "金".

Babi Yar Memorials
Babi Yar, a ravine near Kyiv, was the scene of possibly the largest shooting massacre during the Holocaust. After the war, commemoration efforts encountered serious difficulty because of the policy of the Soviet Union. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, a number of memorials have been erected. The creation of the Babyn Yar Holocaust Memorial Center was initiated in 2016. Commemoration and Soviet policy Soviet leadership discouraged placing any emphasis on the Jewish aspect of the Babi Yar tragedy; instead, it presented these atrocities as crimes committed against the Soviet people in general and the inhabitants of Kyiv in particular. The first draft report of the Extraordinary State Commission (Чрезвычайная Государственная Комиссия), dated December 25, 1943 was officially censored in February 1944 as follows: Monuments at Babi Yar After the war, several attempts were made to erect a memorial at Babi Yar to commemorate the fate of the ...

Dina Pronicheva
Dina (Vera) Mironovna Pronicheva ( uk, Діна Миронівна Пронічева, ''Dina Mironivna Pronicheva''; 7 January 1911 – 1977) was a Soviet Jewish actress at the Kiev Puppet Theatre, military communications-trained 37th Army of the Soviet Union veteran, and a survivor of the 29–30 September 1941 Babi Yar massacre of Jews by Nazi German forces in Kyiv who also worked for the German occupation. Multiple Contradictory Testimonies Forming a coherent version of Dina Pronicheva's life is hindered by the multiple contradictory verbal and written testimonies. Karel C. Berkhoff attributes the contradictions in Dina's testimonies to several factors, "Official censorship, self-censorship, and undue artistic or editorial license produced records that differ in substance and, especially, style. Most of the texts fail to meet the standards of contemporary oral history interviews." Pronicheva later stated in West Germany that she never wrote her testimony down herself. B ...
