According to the information in the office of the relief committee of the Red Cross for those injured in the pogroms, the complete number of places affected up to September 22nd of last year, i.e., up to a time when the wave of the Denikin pogroms had not reached its highest point, was 372. The number of pogroms in these places is however essentially larger and will amount to at least 700, as in many places, for example Rodomysl, Cherniakhov, Kornip, Volodarka, Yelisavetgrad, Vasilkov, there were four, five and even ten pogroms. Some places suffered from one prolonged pogrom until the entire Jewish population and every trace of Jewish possessions were completely wiped out.
The following number of places were destroyed:

This figure, however, does not by any means give a correct idea of the actual number of persons who perished. No account is taken in the above figures of the many victims who gave up their lives in places that could not be recorded because there has not been any connection with them so far and no investigations in those regions have yet been made, as for example in the western parts of the Governments of Volhynia and Podolia, in the southern part of the Government of Kherson, etc. Nor have those missing Jewish families been included who were exterminated in numerous villages and hamlets, or those who were killed during their flight from their ruined homes as they wandered from place to place, or those who were pulled out of railway trains and beaten to death, or those who were drowned by being thrown out of steamers, or those who were killed in the woods and the highways.

There is no account taken of the great numbers of those who succumbed to their injuries and fell victims of contagious and other diseases which they contracted during their imprisonment in dark rooms without food, drink or clothing.
