Murder story of Bolsuny Jews in the Stalinskaya Konstitutsiya Kolkhoz

On August 29, 1941, as I was sitting next to my house, I saw two carts passing by. One of them was driven by Petro Khodak from Luginy, while the other was driven by a person from Luginy whom I did not know. My Jewish neighbors were sitting in the carts: Borokh Gershkovich Zabar with his family (five persons), Shmulik Borokhovich Zabar with his family (ten persons), Yankel Gershkovich with his family (two persons), Berko Revelevich Gutman with his family (five persons), Zelek Khilevich Shnelmakher with his family (five persons), and Surka Berkovna Katsman with her family (three persons). All in all, there were thirty people there. They were being escorted by six policemen from Luginy: Begun, Gavrilyuk…. I do not remember the names of the other officers, since they were young. All of the abovementioned thirty Jewish civilians were taken in the direction of Luginy. The next day, I heard that the policemen and gendarmes had shot all these Jewish civilians in the village of Luginy, at a dung pit in the area of the Stalinskaya Konstitutsiya [Stalinist Constitution] kolkhoz. The victims' property – two cows and some sewing machines – was seized by Begun and other policemen from the village of Luginy. Begun also took away the victims' wardrobe.
