2 unusual facts about Vinnytsia massacre


Vinnytsia massacre

The first examinations of the exhumed bodies were made by German, Ukrainian and Russian doctors such as professor Gerhard Schrader of the University of Halle-Wittenberg, docent Doroshenko of Vinnytsia, and professor Malinin of Krasnodar.

The executions were clandestine, the families were not informed of their relatives' fate; in rare cases the Soviet authorities claimed that the missing people had either died of natural causes, had been sentenced to Gulag in the Far North or transferred to prisons in other parts of the Soviet Union.
