were arrested in retaliation for the arson in Kiev, and altogether 33,771
Jews were executed on September 29th and 30th. Gold, valuables and clothing
were collected and put at the disposal of the National-Socialist Welfare
Association (NSV), for the equipment of the Volksdeutsche , and part
given to the appointed city administration for distribution to the needy
population.
Schitomir
In Schitomir 3,145 Jews had to be shot, because experience

Cherson
In Cherson 410 Jews were executed in retaliation for
acts of sabotage.

it possible to put at the disposal of Wehrmacht offices Jewish worker
groups of up to 1,000 persons for urgent work....
