In Autumn 1942, because of Dr. Frank's arrival, a few thousands Jews were herded to the cemetery which was surrounded by a wall. Machine guns were placed on top of it. [...] Severely beaten and tortured Jews were forced to become submissive and had to lay down in rows, one on top of another, while Ukrainian Militia and Gestapo were walking on them like on grass "fixing" with the rifle butts those who, as they thought, were laying in a wrong way. That is how a few hundred people suffocated to death. 10,000 Jews were executed; children and the elderly were thrown into the ditches alive while other corpses were thrown on top of them. |
