That is, they were stolen from their owners, through threats and force. (Black, ch. 11) 1941 After rounding up and holding over 20,000 persons in Odessa on the previous day, 16,000 of them were led on a forced march to Dalnik. There they were bound together in groups of 40 to 50 people, thrown into an anti-tank ditch, and shot dead. When the shootings proved too slow, the remaining victims were crowded into four large warehouses which had holes in the walls. Machine guns fired through the holes and in this manner, mass murder was committed in one warehouse after another. (Carmelly, 80-81) 1944 A transport of three hundred prisoners, a third of whom are Jewish, is sent from the Bolzano-Gries transit camp to Auschwitz-Birkenau, arriving there on October 28.
