Murder Story of Klimovo Jews in the Peat Bog at the Klimovo Railway Station

... Around the month of February 1942 they [the Jews of Klimovo who were still alive] were collected in one [building], then they were stripped to their underwear and taken outside of town in the direction of the peat bog. Onlookers were forbidden to come close. [There] they were taken close to the pits prepared in advance and shot from sub-machineguns. … In the spring of 1942 after the snow melted the Germans forced the [local] residents to rebury all of them in a lime pit… A total of about 400 people were shot...

… Then all the Jews [women, children, and old people] were forced into an unheated building behind the station. The police did not let anyone out. They were guarded. After some time all the Jews were taken out into the yard and were forced to undress to their underwear. The police stripped the people [the Jews] and then began to shoot them. No one was allowed in to see the shooting so we could not see what was going on there, but we did hear the Jews screaming and crying. They were tortured, beaten, and raped. The Jews from Churovichi village, as well as Gypsies from Novyy Ropsk, were also taken to the shooting site and shot on the same day. Altogether about 400 people were shot....
