Interview by Mikhail Tyaglyy in 2012
Q. Where are we now?
A. We are at the place where the kolkhoz storage shed used to be. Its doors were here. Here at the doorstep they were shot. A pit had been dug. They fell into the pit. They were Jews, six or seven of them, perhaps as many as ten. There were not many. They were all men. [Local] People said so.
