Operations and
Situation Report No. 6 by the Einsatzgruppen
of the Security
Police and SD in the U.S.S.R.
(for the period
October 1-31, 1941)
...c)
Jews
The
bitter hostility of the Ukrainian population against the Jews
is extremely great, because it is thought that they were
responsible for the explosions in Kiev. They are also seen as
NKVD informers and agents, who unleashed the terror against
the Ukrainian people. All Jews were arrested in retaliation
for the arson in Kiev, and altogether 33,771 Jews were
executed on September 29th and 30th. Gold, valuables and
clothing were collected and put at the disposal of the
National-Socialist Welfare Association (NSV), for the
equipment of the Volksdeutsche, and part given to the
appointed city administration for distribution to the needy
population.
Schitomir
In
Schitomir 3,145 Jews had to be shot, because experience showed
that they must be considered as bearers of Bolshevist
propaganda and saboteurs.
Cherson
In
Cherson 410 Jews were executed in retaliation for acts of
sabotage.
The
solution of the Jewish question in the area east of the Dnjpr
in particular has been firmly attached by the Einsatzgruppen
of the Security Police and the SD. The areas newly occupied by
the commandos were cleared of Jews. In the course of this
action 4,891 Jews were liquidated. In other localities the Jews
were marked and registered. This made it possible to put
at the disposal of Wehrmacht offices Jewish worker groups
of up to 1,000 persons for urgent work....
