Remaining Jews had to dig graves which those executed and those still alive but injured were thrown into. Many were buried alive. [...] They lay there till 3 November. That day I was going to the railway station to get a newspaper and saw that the ground was freshly dug. I also saw new wheel tracks on a road that was not frequented by cars. It smelled awful, the reek was unbearable. When I came home, the housewife's son said that the Germans dug out the bodies of executed Jews, loaded them onto trucks and were going to burn them to cover up the traces of the crimes. |
