Bodies of 286 Jews Murdered in Holocaust Found in Ukraine Basement
(Jerusalem Post) Tamar Beeri - The bodies of 286 Jewish people, mostly women and children, were found in a basement below the town square's marketplace in Sataniv, Ukraine. The Jews were gassed in gas chambers in two separate basements. The basements were opened after the war, but the bodies were left with a sign marking it as a place of mass murder. Over the years, the entrance disappeared below the rubble of a house standing above it. It took the local Jewish community several legal battles in order to finally gain ownership of the basement. Searches began on the site in 2019 and, one by one, bones and articles of clothing were found. The remains were taken for burial in the city's ancient Jewish cemetery.
