carting hundreds of dead bodies to the ghetto cemetery.
In some instances, however, the Ukrainian Nazis would
load people who had fainted, but were still alive, onto
the wagons. Not infrequently, some of these victims
would regain consciousness and plead with the driver to
let them go. But the Nazi escort insisted that these peo-
ple be buried along with the dead. Some wagon drivers
occasionally recognized relatives or friends who were
still breathing, yet had no choice but to transport them
to their final destination at the cemetery. Consumed
with guilt, a few of the wagon drivers later committed
suicide. ...Source passage 11

... At the same time, a second group of Nazi officers
pulled the elderly and ill out of line, shoving them onto
wagons heading for the ghetto cemetery. There the Jew-
ish firemen, under orders from Friedl, had excavated a
large number of pits. Many groups of several hundred
Jews were brought to the cemetery on the wagons;
Fried! would arrive, issuing instructions for the elderly
and ill Jews to be pushed to the edge of the pits. He
would then fire his gun, which signaled other Nazi sol-
diers to open a barrage of gunfire. The victims, riddled
with bullets, fell into the pit. Those who were still alive
were pushed into the mass grave, which was imme-
diately covered with earth. ...Connected nodes
