Entrevista del testigo

Victor P.: "I saw the frozen bodies and even the people who were still alive being taken out from the trains which were coming from the East. The prisoners dug and filled in those mass graves. In the winter the bodies were piled up and in the spring a foul smell spread. This place was constantly watched by the Germans." (Witness N°62, intervied in Mogalinshchina, on December 3, 2009).

"On July 16, 1943, the day of the second anniversary of Smolensk's occupation, the Germans transported the Jews in gas vans from the ghetto to Gedeonovka. During the transporting, they offused an asphyxiating gas inside the vehicles. After they had brutally killed them, they arrived at Gedeonovka and hurled the dead in a trench. In this way, more than 1,500 persons were killed : men, women, the elderly and children." (RG-22.002M/1630-2/19)
