English Translation

1.2 3/ In Riga, three Jews transferred from the Reich to the ghetto, who had broken out, were captured and publicly hanged in the ghetto. In the case of major Jewish actions, 3 412 Jews were shot in Minsk, 302 in Wilejka and 2 007 in Baranovichi. The population welcomed these actions, because when they visited the apartments they had to find out that the Jews had even larger food camps, while their own supply situation was extremely poor. Especially in the area of the black trade the Jews appear again and again. In the Minsk kitchen, which serves the feeding of the population and is operated by the city administration, two Jews had committed extensive embezzlement and bribery. The food they received was sold in the black trade. Furthermore, a Jew was arrested for suspicion of espionage. He is a well-known sculptor and draughtsman who, by portraying numerous German officers, was admitted to almost all German trump-ups in Minsk. In the other areas of the Eastern Front, the task of the security police and the SD, in addition to the action against individual politically or criminally appearing Jews, was to clean up larger villages in general.
