Description |
Examines the deportation of Jews from Bessarabia and Bukovina in July-August 1941 to the area which was to become Transnistria and proposes a version of how the mass extermination of Jews in the occupied Soviet territories began. The guidelines received by the Einsatzgruppen prior to the invasion of the USSR did not contain an order for total annihilation of the Jews. The first mass killings of Jews, in Iaşi, Czernowitz, and Kishinev were initiated by the Romanian army. In July-August 1941 Antonescu was preoccupied with cleansing the Jews and Slavs from the disputed areas. Masses of Jews were driven by the Romanians to the German-held side of the Dnestr the Germans sent them back. This shunting of one such Jewish column finished with the murder of a great part of it near the Yampol bridge in August 1941. The incident, as well as the murder of 20,000 Jews expelled by the Hungarians to Kamenets-Podolskii, served the Nazis as a "model" for the Final Solution. Concludes that there was no order for the total annihilation of the Jews it was prompted by local incidents like that mentioned above.
