Nikolaev Massacre
The Nikolaev Massacre was a massacre which resulted in the deaths of 35,782 Soviet citizens, most of whom were Jews, during World War II, on September 16–30, 1941. It took place in and around the city of Mykolaiv and the neighboring city of Kherson in the southern Ukraine. The massacre was carried out by German troops of Einsatzgruppen D under the command of Otto Ohlendorf,[1] who was later convicted at the Nuremberg Trials and hanged. The killings were committed by many of the same troops who carried out the massacre at Babi Yar, and the victims were counted and described in an Einsatzgruppen document dated October 2, 1941, as "Jews and Communists".[2] This document was entered into evidence at the Nuremberg Trials as NO-3137.[2]
