Kalikst B. recalls: "Jews were forced to wear armbands with the Star of David. The Germans gave an order to all Jews to move to the ghetto. And the Jewish family living with us went there on their own.
YIU: How was this order diffused? Were there signs in the town?
Kalikst B.: Maybe, there were some notices in the town, but I don’t really remember. Jews received the orders. There was the Jewish council Judenrat. There was also the Jewish police. They had to go to the Commissariat where they were given instructions. When there was some work to do, the Jewish police came to requisition Jews for work."

In January or February, Captain Busse confided to me that the Jews from the region would be transferred. And this would be carried out by SS units. I was not aware of the place where the Jews were going to be transferred. We used them as they were talented artisans in the region. I went to the railway station and spoke to the guardians. I managed to take with me 11 Jews for use as labor. I think Captain Busse also managed to save some Jews.
