Yeni-Krymchak Well
Russia (USSR)
In April 1942 a Krymchak family named Valit was shot to death by a German murder squad one kilometer outside the village. The victims' bodies were thrown into a nearby well.
From the testimony of E. Kokotova, who was living in Yeni - Krymchak village during the German occupation.
I must add that …. the Valit family was shot to death not on February 5th [1942] but in April 1942, during the daytime, at about 12 noon, 1 kilometer from the village, their bodies were thrown into a well.
