The Red
Army liberated Minsk on July 3, in what Moscow defined as "one
of the most crucial victories of the war." Only a few of the
80,000 Jews who had inhabited Minsk before the war were still there
upon the liberation. 60,000 had fled. They had managed to hide out
during the final Aktion on October 21, 1943, in which the last 5,000
were taken to Maly Trostinets, where they were murdered.
