Full Testimony	The guarding SS man would open the gate and a new group of convicts would leave the camp. The path was leading upwards and then along the filled gully bed. Day and night, people taking that path could see a stream of blood flowing in their direction. The gully bed was littered with corpses of previously murdered citizens of Lviv. The more were killed, the farther from the camp that path was leading, hidden from view with high sandbanks. Stepping on the corpses of their predecessors, tens of thousands of people tormented in the camp would get to the death valley. The pit was so deep, it could easily house a whole regiment of soldiers. It was surrounded by hills covered with wicker and situated half a kilometre from the prison camp. We got down to the "death valley" in October 1944. In the ditches dug in the gully bed according to the instructions of medico-legal experts, water mixed with blood of the many people executed there still flows.
