TSN reports Kyiv's official 85th-anniversary Babyn Yar commemoration with hundreds of public, religious, cultural and diplomatic figures. It describes 'The Right to Memory' audiovisual installation, candles at the Menorah monument, remembrance addresses and rabbinical prayer. Security concerns postponed the ceremony from September 29 until October 6. Germany's minister Karin Prien attends the same ceremony. In his October 7 commentary Köppel criticizes her remarks about massacres' moral imperative and Ukraine's struggle, discusses German responsibility and alleged historical nationalist collaboration, and rejects labeling all present Ukrainians Nazis. His political criticism does not erase TSN's ceremony reporting. The broadcast calls her 'Katrin'; the official identity is Karin Prien.
