Murder Site
Former Old Hospital Area in Dubăsari
Romania
Apparently, in late August 1941 several dozen Jews and some Soviet activists were taken by the Romanian authorities to the living quarters of the Einsatzkommando 12 unit, at the former town hospital. Upon arrival, the arrestees were locked in the hospital cellar. Shortly afterward, on the orders of Max Drexel, head of the Einsatzkommando 12 murder squad, they were taken to the garden (or the courtyard, according to another testimony) of the former hospital. There, the victims had to kneel in front of pits that had been dug in advance, and shot by members of Einsatzkommando 12.

Mikhail Raiskyi, who was born in 1928 and lived in Dubăsari during the war years, testified:
…I remember that, in summer 1941, in July-August, before the mass shooting [of Jews in September 1941], local Jews and Soviet activists were shot in small groups in the cellar of the former clinic/the area of the former old hospital.… Together with [some other] teenage boys, I saw Jews, Poles, and [some] Germans [sic] being shot dead in the cellar of the old hospital in the summer of 1941….
