  • A terrible picture appeared before our eyes: a mountain of half-naked bodies with bloodied heads, broken arms and legs. These were the remains of those tortured to death during the last hour of the ghetto's evacuation. There were rags, crockery and various items on the floor. Everything was drenched in the blood of the victims. The air was filled with a smell of blood and sweat. An elderly, grey-haired woman rushed from one person to another, crying, "Why didn't they kill me too? Tell the Germans that I should also be shot!" In total, 80 people remained in the abandoned bunkers. They were ill, old people, and several children. They were left only because they could not move, and some managed to hide. The SS men herded them into Bunker 3 and kept them there for three days. Zirka ordered Jewish doctors to give people poison, but they flatly refused. Then, with the onset of twilight, a container with sulphur was placed in the bunker and the doors with windows were tightly closed. Two days later, the bunker was opened. The bodies lay in unnatural positions with their eyes open, and yet several people were still breathing - all of whom were executed. (en)
