Abstract:
"This is a list of Urechye Holocaust victims from the records of the Extraordinary State Commission to Investigate and Establish War Crimes of the German-Fascist Invaders (RG-22.002M, Reel 24, Fond 7021, Opis 82, File 9. USHMM). The list entries are numbered 880 to 1400 because they are part of a larger victim list for Slutsk Raion, Minsk Oblast. The date of compilation of this list appears to be in the Sept.-Oct. 1944 timeframe, 2 to 3 years after the atrocities occurred. I do not know what the population of Urechye was in June, 1941 (just before the German invasion), but my guess is that this list represents at least half of the townspeople of Urechye."--Table Notes for Urechye Holocaust Victims, at: http://www.angelfire.com/or/yizkor/tnotes.html
