The Einsatzgruppen Is Loosed On Russian Jewry After the Nazi invasion of Russia in 1941, the various Einsatzgruppen killing squads were sent out to liquidate the Jewish population throughout the occupied territories, including Byelorussia. |
The Holocaust Comes To The Pale of Settlement.

The list of Kholmech martyrs are from two sources: A book published in Belarus in the 1990's called Memory and from the materials of the Soviet State Extraordinary Commission of 1944. On the former list there are 53 individuals mentioned, some by name. On the latter, 37 individuals are mentioned, all by name. There is considerable, but not a perfect, overlap between the two lists. Each list contains references not found on the other. If the two lists are cross-referenced and collated, the number of victims recorded might rise as high as 63.
