Next four pictures will show an Einsatzkommando right in the act of killing.Picture taken in 1942 Ukraine.You can clearly see what they are doing to the Jewish people.This was the same kind of scene in Kamenets-Podolsk where the Germans slaughtered around 20,000 Jews in outdoor ditches with firing squads.One interesting story on this subject comes from my family who has told me the following facts about this deportation.

      When this occured my grandfather was warned by the local officials.It appears that the "Kratz" family had the respect and friendship of some of the locals and they wre willing to help out in any way to save them.The family travelled to Budapest and returned after this "Action" to the village of Luh.My father sick of the growing Anti-Semitism stayed in Budapest where he got a job as a dental technician.My aunt Julia also stayed and worked as a seamstress.They each had their own apartments.The rest of the family returned to Luh.They then found out that some of our relatives had been deproted to the Ukraine.My grandfather actually managed to pay off a pilot who flew supplies out to the Ukraine for the Hungarians.This man delivered messages and parcels to the few relatives there in Kamenets-Podolsk.After that my grandfather payed a local Ukrainian to go there and manage their escaped back.This gentile smuggled himself into that city and did find the mother and children who were my relatives.They wished to stay and wouldnot go but one of the children did return back and stayed in Luh at my grandfather's home.The others were never seen again as they were shot by the Nazi butchers and their Ukraine Collaborators.
