Furthermore, one Jew was arrested
because of strong suspicion of espionage. This man is a well-known painter and
sculptor, who because he painted portraits of a great number of German
officers was admitted to almost all German troop units in Minsk.
Besides the measures taken against individual Jews operating in a
criminal or political manner, the tasks of the Security Police and the SD in
the other areas of the eastern front consisted in a general purging of larger
localities. Alone in Rakov, e. g., 15000 Jews were shot, and 1224 in
Artenovsk, so that these places are now free of Jews.
In the
Crimea 1,000 Jews and gypsies were executed.
