From the report of inhabitants of Rostov on Don about German atrocities in the city, November 30, 1941:
...As soon as they [Germans] entered Rostov on Don, they started to plunder and to abuse local inhabitants, especially Jews. They were murdered only because they were Jews. They were searched for in houses, in cellars, and on the streets. Just in a house on 36th Line [Street] near the kindergarten 60 Jewish residents were murdered, and a total of several hundred, mostly women, children, and elderly people, in our neighborhood. Before the shooting many were mocked, beaten, and had their teeth knocked out; many were murdered by smashing their skulls with rifle butts....
