Full Testimony	[12 August 1942] Germans and Ukrainians took all Jews towards the three ditches outside the town, and executed them there. The place was chosen because of its attractive position: on a hill, between a forest and a river. It was a popular place for romantic walks among our youth. The escapees were easy to shoot when they had to run down the hill.
