According to the witness Marantz, fifteen people were killed and four seriously wounded in the house of his friend Auerbach. When he applied to his Christian neighbors to help him bind up the wounded, only one Christian woman consented to help; the others refused.
The witness Griinfeld (v. I, p. 29) says that from the window of her dwelling she saw a gang of about 20 Gaidamaks stop at the opposite house, Khaselev's; four of them left the others and went into the Schiffmann house, where they remained a very short time, and on coming out began to clean their bloody sabres in the snow. In that house it turned out that eight people were killed. Another part of this gang went into the inn "France," which was next door; out of it ran the old proprietor, pursued by the Gaidamaks, and after them ran the old man's children begging for mercy.
According to the witness Spiegel (v. I, p. 76) he and his brother were visiting the Potekha family, when he heard that there was a massacre going on in town. Disturbed for the fate of his old mother, he went home, and, by roundabout ways, conducted the old woman to the house of Polish acquaintances. But they absolutely refused to take them in, saying they were afraid for their own fate. When he returned to the Potekha house, Christians who were standing around it (so-called petty bourgeois) warned him not to enter, as a massacre was going on inside. But, disturbed about his brother, he nevertheless went in and found that the whole Potekha family and all who had been in the house were cut down, among them his brother. The old mother was so hacked that he could recognize her only by her figure. Near her lay the body of her son, hacked with- sabre-cuts and thrust through with bayonets. In the same manner her oldest daughter had been killed. The youngest daughter was also killed, and the middle one was lying severely wounded. A woman relative visiting them was also severely wounded. In the yard were two brothers Bressler and their aged mother. His brother was severely wounded, but still breathing, and died in his arms. "Out of 'curiosity Christian neighbors came into the house, and I asked them to help me lay the wounded in beds, but they refused. Only one neighbor named Sikora rendered me some help. Two of the wounded died; the rest recovered, but remained cripples."

In the house of Wolfzup (v. II, p. 16) all the family were killed except one young woman who remained alive with 2B wounds. The murderers came to the house with machine guns and a sanitary detachment. On the command "Haiti" some spread themselves out cor don- fashion, and some began right there to sharpen their weapons. Then the command "Get to work!" was given, and the Cossacks dispersed among the neighboring houses and began the massacre. In the house of Semmelman (p. 13) 21 were killed and two wounded. The Gaidamaks came to the house in regular order with two machine guns. There were with them a sister of mercy and a man with a red-cross band, who proved later to be Skornik, in command of a sanitary detachment. In the house of Blechman (p. 15) six were killed; one by a stroke on the head which split his skull into two parts. A girl was wounded in the hind part of her body, for which purpose her dress was raised. At the house of Korchak (p. 9, v. II) eight men arrived and first of all smashed the windows to bits. Five entered the house, three staying in the street. Those who entered seized old Korchak by the beard and dragged him to the kitchen window, from which they threw him out to those who were standing in the street. These killed him. Then the men inside killed the aged mother and two daughters. A young woman visitor they dragged by the hair into another room, then threw her out into the street, where she was killed barbarously. Then they returned into the house and inflicted several serious wounds on a 13-year-old boy, who afterwards became totally deaf. They inflicted nine wounds in the abdomen and side upon the oldest brother, placed him upon the dead body of his mother, inflicted two more wounds, and said: "Now we have finished with them."
