Murder Story of Godykha Jews on the Road to Dzerzhinsk

The village headman and the policemen took them. They dug a pit and threw them into it alive. They were covered with sand, and the grave heaved. Some people said that the village people were aware of this [that the victims were thrown into the pit alive]…There was a beautiful girl [among the Jews] and a boy; there were two children and elderly parents in one family. And there were members of a family named Volitskiy… They were shot near the road, at a turn….

…They dug a pit and buried them. [Among the victims,] there was a woman who had graduated from university. She was very beautiful; her name was Gitlya, and she had gorgeous hair. People told her that they would give her a place to hide, but she said: "My parents are here, and I will die with them"… After the war, when they reburied them, someone remarked on her beautiful hair. I do not know where they reburied them.
