12 Jewish Survivors
Found in Kishinev
MOSCOW (WNS) — Of the
65,000 Jews who lived in Kish-
inev, capital of Bessarabia, only
12 were found alive when the
city was liberated by the Red
Army.
About 52,000 Jews were evac-
uated into the interior before
the city was captured by Ge•-
man-Romanian troops. The oth-
er 13,000 were killed.
The destruction of the Kish-
inev Jews followed the usual
Nazi pattern of crowded ghettos,
mass executions, random shoot-
ings, deportations and torture.
The Germans unearthed bodies
in the Jewish cemetery in order
to secure gold teeth and fillings.
All the rabbis in the city were
crowded into one house, together
with their wives, and shot after
