To
All the Jews
With
the aim of populating areas of the Ukraine which are sparsely
populated, all the Jews living in the city of Kislovodsk and
also all Jews who have no permanent place of residence are
required to be at the railway station (freight platform) of
the city of Kislovodsk on Wednesday, September 9, 1942, at
5:00 in the morning Berlin time (6:00 o'clock Moscow time).
Each
Jew can take baggage weighing no more than 20 kgs. (including
food for at least two days). Subsequent food requirements will
be supplied by the German authorities at the railway stations.
It
is suggested that only the most important items be taken, such
as: valuables, money, clothing and blankets. Every Jewish
family must lock the door of its apartment and affix a note to
the key, on which is inscribed the name of the family, first
names, occupations and the address of the family; the key with
the note must be handed in to the German commanders of the
railway station. Owing to transport difficulties it is not
possible to take more than 20 kgs. of baggage and no
furniture.
With
regard to the preparation and dispatch of property remaining
behind, each family must pack and mark their goods, linens,
etc., and note down exactly to whom they belong. [Military
City] Command No. 12 is responsible for the storage and
protection of this property.
Any
person who tries to put his hands on Jewish property or to
break into Jewish apartments will be shot on the spot.
The
transfer applies also to Jews who have been baptized. The
transfer does not apply to families in which one of the
parents is a Jew and the second is a Russian, Ukrainian or
member of another nationality. Nor does the transfer apply to
persons of mixed origins.
Voluntary
transfers by mixed families [Mischlinge] of type 1 or 2
may possibly be carried out later.
All
the Jews are ordered to line up at the station in groups of 45
to 50 persons; they should pay attention that all members of a
family stand together. The line-up must be completed by 5:45
Berlin time (6:45 Moscow time).
The
Jewish Committee is responsible for carrying out the order
according to plan. Jews who try to interfere with the
execution of this order will be punished most severely.
