Murder Story of Imeni Molotova Kolkhoz Jews in Soldatskoye

Sometime between September 12-15, 1942, the citizens of Jewish nationality, who had to live in harsh conditions, doing hard labor, were taken to a storage barn in the center of the collective farm. Then, one night, the barn was cordoned off. On the next day, all [the Jews] and their belongings were loaded onto horse carts and sent in the direction of Soldatskoye. The policemen guarded the Jews, but were forbidden to rob them. All the Jews were crying, convinced that they were about to die. Comrade Ger, who was carrying her child, kept crying all the way and complaining about their predicament and about her husband, who was away in the Red Army. She calmed her child, saying how unlucky they were to find themselves in this situation, and I also calmed her as best I could, but I felt ashamed of my inability to help.... All of them were shot dead by the fascist animals.
