George Beck: March 13, 1944

Two men (English) shot at working camp by guards. One turned round with cigarette in his mouth and guard shot him through the head, smoking forbidden. The other chap was shot through using obscene language at the guard. Both were dragged on the side. Representatives from Switzerland investigated. They were given a marvellous funeral. Today’s war news “The Russians are only 160 kilometres from Slovakian border”. The town of Uman evacuated by Germans.
