Archive/File: holocaust/ussr/minsk minsk.002 Last-Modified: 1995/01/11 At [Eichmann's] trial he recalled how, reaching the execution site in Minsk, There were the piles of dead people. They were shooting into the pit - it was a rather large one, so I was told, perhaps four to five times the size of this room, perhaps even six or seven times. I didn't think much about it because I could hardly express any thoughts about it - I only saw it and that was quite enough - they were shooting into the pit and I saw a woman, her arms seemed to be at the back; then my knees went weak and I went away."
