Murder story of Kerch Jews in the Adzhimushkay Anti-Tank Trench (Gas Vans)

What a dreadful, terrible day! You can't imagine how much blood and how many tears were shed on this day. All the Krymchaks had been taken away and it was clear that they were about to be shot to death. The hair of my head stood up at all these nightmarish acts of a "civilized nation." People were running, the adults and children were screaming. Indeed, everyone wants to live, life is so short and we are given this chance only once. But they, those monsters – the occupiers - were annihilating not only the adults, but also the innocent little ones who didn't understand anything. It would have been less bad if they [the Germans] did this with their own hands. It was worse that [this was done by] some Russians, henchmen, hirelings [of the Germans]. They entered homes to take away innocent people by force and shoot them to death. How can one look at this and at these poor people?! I can't bear them anymore, all these abuses. I can't imagine that maybe soon you will share the same fate [of the victims]….
