WWII- Minsk Ghetto - Holocaust
German forces occupied Minsk, capital of the Belorussian Soviet Socialist Republic (SSR) in the Soviet Union, shortly after the German invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941. During the German occupation, the Belorussian SSR became part of the Reich Commissariat Ostland (Reichskommissariat Ostland). Within this German civilian administration, Minsk became a district capital. Wilhelm Kube, the German general commissioner of Belorussia, governed from Minsk. In late July 1941, the Germans established a ghetto in the northwestern part of Minsk. About 80,000 people, including Jews from nearby towns, were crowded into the Minsk ghetto. Between November 1941 and October 1942, over 20,000 Jews from Germany and the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia were deported to Minsk. Many were shot or gassed in special gas vans upon arrival in Maly Trostinets, a small village about eight miles to the east. Others were housed in a separate ghetto in Minsk that segregated German Jews from local Belorussian Jews. Little contact was permitted between residents of the two ghettos. Jews were forced to work on labour projects in factories inside the two ghettos. Jews were also forced to perform forced labour outside the ghettos, especially in the Shiroka Street labor camp and the opera house (where confiscated Jewish private property was sorted and stored). RESISTANCE IN MINSK In August 1941, Jews established an anti-German underground in the Minsk ghetto. Members organized escapes from the ghetto and formed partisan units in the forests to the southeast and northwest of Minsk. Jews from Minsk established seven different partisan units. In all, about 10,000 Jews fled to the forests; most of them were killed by German forces during the war. In the fall of 1943, the Germans destroyed the Minsk ghetto. Some Jews were deported to the Sobibor extermination camp. About 4,000 remaining Jews were killed at Maly Trostinets  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  · |

1941 The Minsk-Bialystok Pocket Translation: "July 9, 1941. Deutsche Wochenschau No. 566. Forward march eastwards from Bialystok. Here German troops have achieved a decisive victory through a world-historical advance.At total breakthrough has been achieved over the Soviet armies, which were prepared to conduct an attack upon Germany. The several pockets of surrounded Soviets are offering resistance, which in a short time has been broken by German troops. Snipers and isolated Soviet troops have infiltrated this farmstead. Here, they have been rooted out. On the road to Minsk.The Soviets have set up strong tank formations in order to halt the German troops. Artillery and Panzers fight to clear the road.The tank hidden in the woods is dealt with. In the thousands the prisoners come forth.The advance guard keeps moving forwards. Everywhere burnt up Soviet tanks.In the time from June 22 to July 1 more than 5000 Soviet armoured vehicles have been destroyed or captured.Against must the advance guard halt. New Soviet tank formations attack. An Anti-tank gun goes into position. These ones are quickly dealt with. Blow after blow it continues. Ever new prisoners come forth. Artillery gets into position.A further formation of Soviet tanks is reported. Direct hit! The victorious German advance has not been halted. The German troops stand before Minsk. Left and right of the road burn Soviet tanks.The destructive work is accomplished. The number of prisoners stands in the hundreds of thousands. Over 60000 men, surrounded west of Minsk, have laid down their weapons after shooting their commissars. This is the Bolshevik humanity which the leaders of the world revolution wanted to drag through Europe. In this front sector several squadrons of the Luftwaffe prepare to head out to hit the enemy in their rearward communications. Fighter-Destroyer Type Me bf 110. Attack upon an enemy air field. The aircraft are destroyed on the ground. This film was shot with an on-board camera. There! A Soviet bomber! He can no longer evade the German fighter. The bomber drops burning from the sky. So far up to July 1st almost 4800 Soviet aircraft have been destroyed." |

Re: WWII- Minsk Ghetto - Holocaust
When you research the pic it falls into a strange grey area where it is linked to at least 3 ghettos as well as Bloody Wednesday. I have no definite on it so it's pretty much up to people which "historical" bit of info they want to go with. I'm not fussy  |
