Full Testimony | We went from Grodno to Skidzyel and Lunna . Near both towns, on a field by the foundation of a ruined house, we were ordered to unearth the pits. They were smaller, but 2,5m deep - enough for 10 layers. Altogether, we unearthed 2-2,500 bodies in both places. I remember that one of the pits contained 500 bodies, the other one 350, mostly women and small children." |
