Bodies of 286 Jews murdered in Holocaust found in Ukraine basement – The basements were opened after the war, but they were left open without moving the bodies with a sign marking it as the place of a mass murder. | The Jerusalem Post
The bodies of 286 Jewish people, mostly women and children, were found in a basement below the town square’s marketplace in Sataniv, Ukraine.
The town was known to once have an organized Jewish community where numerous pioneers of the Haskalah movement, including Isaac Satanow, Menachem Mendel Lefin and Alexander b. Zevi Margaliot, once lived. After surviving persecution in the region for centuries, the Germans infiltrated in May 1942 and killed 800 people, the majority of which were Jews.
