Anyone who undertakes to write the terrible story of the Jews in Transnistrien will not be able to protect himself from the reproach that he repeated the same story of horror. For at all the locations where the Jews were brought, the allied German and Romanian killers used the same methods and the same sadistic brutality. Their goal was to wipe out without exception everything Jewish. Only about the ghettos in and surrounding Moghilev can one say that they were an exception. Of the approximately 100,000 deportees in these camps (there were approximately 60 ghettoes) 80% survived the catastrophe M. Carp, the writer of the “Black Book” (Cartea negra) wrote in this connection of the “wonder of Moghilev.”
