Abstract:
On 9 September 1941, the Jews of Butrimonys, a small town in Lithuania, were massacred by the Einsatzgruppen and Lithuanian collaborators. A local Jew, Khone Boyarski, and his son went into hiding and wrote a letter to relatives abroad describing the massacre. He and his son were eventually caught and murdered. Pp. 363-371 give a translation of the letter which was found in the Yad Vashem Archives.
