The Jews of Pinsk, 1939-1943, through the prism of new documentation. |

Yad Vashem Studies 29 (2001) 148-182 |
| Description |
Using documents from Belorussian archives, photocopied for the Yad Vashem archives, reconstructs the history of the Jewish community in Pinsk during World War II. These newly available records help to estimate the number of victims of the first mass execution of Jewish men in August 1941 - 7,000-8,000. Describes the forced labor, money and goods extorted from the Jews by the Nazi authorities, murder of Jews, and other aspects of Nazi anti-Jewish measures in Pinsk. The new documentation also shows the struggle for Jewish survival conducted by the Judenrat, which attempted to regulate the forced labor, to provide the Jews with food, and to thwart the ghettoization of Pinsk Jews in April 1942. Some requests of the Judenrat put to the German authorities were answered in the affirmative. But in October 1942 the last 10,000 Jews of Pinsk were shot.
