Father - Jew

Movies
A short documentary film by Yana Shraer. The Germans captured the town of Stanov on July 6, 1941. In August several Jews were shot to death there. On May 15, 1942 the Gendarmerie and Ukrainian auxiliary police locked about 200 Jews, including many children, women, and old people, into a cellar in the center of Satanov, causing their death by suffocation or starvation. Probably during this period, about 180 Jews were shot to death near the town's Old Synagogue. Apparently in 1942, a group of Jews was taken to the town of Yarmolintsy, where they were shot to death, along with Jews from nearby towns. Satanov was liberated by the Red Army on March 25, 1944.
