Six-thousand Czechoslovakian Jews were murdered by the Germans in the city of Kamenetz-Podolsk, in the Ukraine, according to a report by the Soviet commission investigating Nazi atrocities. The report is quoted today by the Czechoslovakian Press Service here.

The Russian commission ascertained that the Czech Jews were mainly residents of sub-Carpathia – the section of Czechoslovakia which was seized by Hungary – who had been deported to Kamenetz-Podolsk by the Hungarian authorities when the Ukraine was occupied by the German Army.
