Sources of Information
- German forces occupied Berşad on July 29, 1941, five weeks after the invasion of the USSR on June 22, 1941. In September 1941, the Romanian authorities assumed responsibility for the administration of the town, romanianized its name to Berşad, and established a ghetto in the town. It encompassed 12 side streets and 337 houses. Approximately 3,000 more Jews were exterminated and buried in mass graves by Romanian and German troops in the weeks before the Soviet army reached Berşad. The town was liberated on March 14, 1944.
