Chased by youth armed with clubs, this woman is fleeing from a “death dealer” whose left leg can be seen at the left-hand edge of the photograph.

Within forty-eight hours, the Jewish population of Kyiv was almost completely wiped out.

The man attacked was Mike Hodge, a 67-year-old British wildlife park owner who had raised the lion from a cub.   A staff member shot the lion dead. Hodge survived and recovered
