Nadezhda C., born in 1927: “My brother was requisitioned to drive a cart when the Jews were being led to the shooting. The bodies of the people who were shot in the column were loaded on to his cart. He told me that the road was full of corpses.” (Witness N°746, interviewed in Timkovichi, on May 16, 2014)
