The rampage of vile killing in the village of Alexăndreni lasted the whole day. The German and Romanian monsters showed no mercy to old people, nursing infants, or pregnant women. Grigorii Mosintsev, a resident of the village of Alexăndreni, noted: "One's heart was shaking at the shootings and the heart-wrenching screams of those people being murdered.

Before my eyes the whole Rechtel family was killed: two old people of 75 years old, the Rechtel's daughter, and their 4-month-old granddaughter. Six people were killed in the Peretz family, including two children, one 6 years old and one - 8, and the Peretz's daughter-in-law, who was killed when she was about to give birth.…
