Witness interview

Varvara P. evokes: "Jews were brought in covered trucks all day. A German who was inside the truck made them take off their jewelry. The Jews were taken out and forced to jump, hands behind their backs, in the pit in groups of four. There, three gunmen shot them." (Witness N°78, interviewed in Pasovo, on December 12, 2009).
