During the war, opposite the old Jewish cemetery was the concentration area for Jews.
In Yampol, Nazis were represented by Romanian troops who were guarding the area.
Ruslan's great-grandmother told his mother that the road to Yampol was a large enclosed grounds, where the Jews were forced to live. When Ukrainians went to the market outside of this zone, they threw the Jews of bread and food over the fence to help feed the Jewish children and the elderly. (Ruslan provided many of these photos). |
