Yom Kippur of 1942 was one of the darkest and most tragic days in the history of our town. [...] At 9 o'clock a limo with the main "Oberscharfuhrer" came to Judenrat. [...] People gathered on the market square were guarded by the police. In the afternoon, a few dozens of cars arrived. [...] The victims gathered at the meeting point were loaded onto cars and transported, under a strict escort of Germans and Ukrainians. Outside the town, at the place of the execution, the graves had already been prepared. All the convicts had to undress themselves. They were placed at the edge of the pits so that after a shot they would fall into them. The ones left for covering the remains were executed as well after they finished their job. |
