Entrevista del testigo

Viktor M. recalls: "I saw a mother with a baby in the pit. The mother had died, but the baby was still alive. He was on her breast. He was crying and moving. One of the local policemen took a shovel and hit the baby. It was surprising because the policeman was a native of the village and knew this woman." (Witness N°955, interviewed in Kirove, in 2010)
