also at day. It was further found out that Jews exchanged their belongings for
money and left the town in order to settle in the Western Ukraine — that
is, in territories already under a civil administration. All these facts were observed, the Jews in question, however, could only be arrested in very few cases, as they had sufficient means to escape apprehension. Therefore a conference on this matter took place on 18 September 1941 with the Feldkommandantur [(rear area) military headquarters], in which it was decided to liquidate the Jews of Zhitomir completely and radically, as all warnings and special measures had been unsuccessful up to date. On 19 September 1941 the Jewish district was evacuated starting at 4 o'clock in the morning, after having been surrounded and closed the evening before by 60 men of the Ukrainian militia. The transportation was carried out by 12 trucks which had been placed at the disposal partly by the Feldkommandantur, partly by the city administration of Zhitomir. After the transport had been carried out and the necessary preparations had been made with the help of 150 prisoners, a total of 3,145 Jews were registered and executed. 50,000-60,000 pounds of underwear, clothing, footwear, cooking utensils and so forth could be transferred for use to the deputy of the NSV in Zhitomir, Boss. Confiscated valuables and money were transferred to the Sonderkommando 4a. Einsatzgruppe D. Station Nikolaev. |
