Until <strong>the</strong> opening <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> former Soviet archives (1993) and <strong>the</strong> discovery <strong>of</strong> Milea Morduhovici (see
fn. 247), virtually nothing was known about this chapter in <strong>the</strong> liquidation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> city’s Jews. The
description <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> march from Dalnic to Bogdanovka in October-November 1941 is based on
Morduhovici’s account.
