Written Testimonies
Semyon Velinger, who was born in Annopol in 1928 and lived there during the war years, testifies:
Before the tears of the mothers could dry up, before the cries and screams for the innocents who had been murdered could fall silent, a new calamity befell us. The combined forces of the [Ukrainian and German] police took 200 young Jewish men and force-marched them to the clay pit of the brick factory. Despite the rattle of the submachine guns, the heart-rending cries of the people about to be murdered were clearly audible.
