... Digging up these large pits, our exhumation bri-
gade found the bodies of several resistance fighters
murdered by the Nazis. Among them were the corpses
of a woman about thirty years old, a small child next to
her, a man and a girl about twelve years old. Further-
more, the gravediggers uncovered bullets as well as a
passport belonging to a Jechezkel Zolti. Another ca-
daver was riddled with twenty-eight bullet holes, his
name Zecharja Kaplan. The total of exhumed corpses
soared to 230. Evidently some of them had been forced
Into the pit and buried alive. They were all interred in
the Zabia cemetery on November 22, 1945. ...Connected nodes
