They gave the order to take the Jews to Pechera, through Tulchyn's city center.
They said that the non-Jews would get sick from the Jews.
"The Jews are infected. We need to make a disinfection."
They set up a clothes boiler.
They made everyone undress, naked.
There were no men because they were all in the army.
But there were children of thirteen, fourteen years, very old people, and women.
They stood there and they were embarrassed in front of each other.
So, they covered each other up so that nobody saw their nakedness.
The Romanians and the police stood there and laughed at the Jews.
They had to take them [the Jews] to the camp.
Afterward they took out their clothes
and they were left entirely in rags.
They didn't have anything to wear.
They [the Romanians] had burned them [the clothes].
Whatever they could get, they put on.
Otherwise they would have walked naked.
