Murder Story of Friling Jews in Friling-Naybrod

- Did the Jews evacuate, or did all of them stay in the village? - All Jews who stayed were killed by the Germans. They would come with their black trucks and take them to be killed. - Did you see it yourself? - Yes, I was there. - Could you please tell us? - Yes... there were two girls, same age as mine... they ran away into the field behind the barn – but they were chased and caught right away, and killed anyway. - Did you see the actual killing? - No, they used to take people to the wells and throw them in there. - Do you know where the well is? - There is one near Novosiolovsk. But I don't know whether our people were taken there. There was also one at Naybrod (I am not sure what the name of the village is now). We were afraid. I was young. - So, you didn't see the killing but you did see how they took people away. How did that look? How many Germans were there? - They came with a military car and motorcycles. - Are you sure there was only one black car? - I think so, but I can't be sure. We knew that cars like that came to take people. - When did they come: in the morning, during the day or at night? - They came during the day. - Where were you? - Well, I was a child... either at home, or outside. - Did you see how they gathered people? - They would come to the person’s house, call them out, put them in the car, and that's it. - Did they let people take their belongings? - Of course not, they took them to shoot them! - One more question: were there only Germans who took the Jews, or the local policemen helped them? - I don't remember.
