| העדות המלאה | On Monday during Yom Kippur 1942, Jews were forced to gather all their belongings and move to a fenced street - to the ghetto [...] The villagers brought children to the ghetto and they worked for them as farm-hands or herds. The children were saying they saw prisoners digging ditches outside the town. Everyone understood what that meant. On Wednesday morning the gates of the ghetto were closed [...] Before the evening, Germans and the Ukrainian militia entered the ghetto and ordered all Jews to go into their apartments. Majer Gimenfeld was first to walk into his apartment and set it on fire. Moments later the whole ghetto was on fire. The police guarding the space around the fence started to shoot. The bullets started to intersect, which made an illusion of shots coming from the ghetto as well and it forced the police to run. Jews destroyed the fence and ran off as well. [...] From Thursday (Yom Kippur was on Monday) to 12:00 o'clock on Friday, 1,000-1,500 Jews were captured. They were led outside the city, to the already prepared ditches (the ones seen by the children), and executed there [...] The number of Jews rose to 300 by next Friday. Three houses were given away. On a Friday morning this new ghetto was surrounded. Ukrainians and Germans took Jews to the cemetery and executed them there. [...] A couple of times in Tuchyn, a few hundred Jews were gathered in groups and executed in the Jewish cemetery." |
