Murder Story of Minsk Jews at the Hospital of the Ghetto of the Central European Jews

In late July-early August 1943, SS-Hauptscharfuehrer Adolf Ruebe, accompanied by a squad of Latvian auxiliary policemen, arrived on the premises of the hospital set up in the ghetto of the Central European Jews deported to Minsk. The hospital occupied two three-story buildings – the so-called "White House," which contained the hospital proper, in addition to a surgery clinic; and the so-called "Red House," where the patients confined to bed were hospitalized. The killers first shot the patients in the "Red House," and then the doctors and patients in the "White House." This massacre claimed the lives of at least 50 people.
