The order
to establish the ghetto in Minsk—34 streets and alleys plus the
Jewish cemetery—was given on July 20, 1941. Jews were brought to
the ghetto from Slutzk, Dzerzhinsk, Cherven, and other localities in
the vicinity of Minsk. Jewish men and women who had married non-Jews
were also taken to the ghetto, as were their children. In all, the
ghetto population climbed to 100,000. |
