| | "In the afternoon, more than 25,000 Jews were assembled and taken out to the gates of Dalnik.
The 30 km long road was littered with shot women, children and
handicapped people who couldn't keep up the pace. When they reached the
gates, 50 people were moved into the trenches and shot by
Lieutenant-Colonel Nicolae Deleanu
himself. The Romanians were concerned that the killing would take too
long a time and moved the rest of the Jews (approximately 22,000)
inside four large storage buildings in which they made holes for
machine guns. The doors were closed and the Lieutenant-Colonel Nicolae
Deleanu ordered the soldiers to fire into the buildings. In order to
make sure that nobody had survived, they set the buildings on fire at
17:00 hours. The next day grenades were thrown into one of the
buildings. Other Jews were herded into the harbor square, sprinkled
with gasoline, and set on fire. Over 22,000 corpses were found in mass
graves after the war." |
