The Destruction of Slonim Jewry: The Story of the Jews of Slonim During the HolocaustBased on recollections of survivors, both in the ghettos and in the partisan units, presents a history of the Jews in Slonim during the Nazi occupation in 1941-43. Relates the first mass shooting of ca. 500 men in the summer of 1941; the mass shooting of 10,000 people on 13-14 November 1941; establishment of the ghetto in November 1941 and its liquidation in a large "action" in July 1942, and of the so-called "small ghetto" which was destroyed on 21 September 1942. Pp. 227-360 describe Jewish partisan warfare in southern Belorussia, in particular in the 51st detachment of the Shchors brigade. Many partisan commanders were well disposed toward their Jewish comrades in arms; there were, however, some antisemites who tried to get rid of the Jews in their detachments; there were sometimes conflicts between Jewish and non-Jewish partisans. Pp. 370-379 deal with the trials of Nazi war criminals who perpetrated crimes in the Slonim area. |
