Scarf that Belonged to Ethel Stolyar, who was Murdered in a Killing Pit in Zhitomir

Scarf that Etel Stoliar took with her when she was marched to the murder pit near the town of Vcherayshe in the Zhitomir area.

Before being murdered, she was forced to undress. A Ukrainian policeman who was present took the scarf and later gave it to an acquaintance of the Stoliar family who recognized it. When Etel’s daughter, Maria, returned to her home after the liberation, she was given the scarf.
