The Roma Wagon, installed in the Babyn Yar Park, is a symbol of memory of Roma victims of Nazism during the World War II. The author of the monument, also known as the Black Horror or Kalitraş, is Anatolii Ihnashchenko, the Shevchenko Prize winner of Roma origin. The monument was made of ship steel at the Kuznia na Rybalskomu factory in Kyiv and is a life-size reproduction of a traditional Roma wagon, decorated with flowers and riddled with bullet holes. It was supposed to be installed back in 1998, but was unveiled only in September 2016, on the 75th anniversary of the first mass shooting of five Romany sites, taken out of Kurenivka. Prior to that, the Wagon was located on a rock above the Smotrych River in Kamianets-Podilskyi for some time.
