nymity of the great terror waves. Josef Goldman, who commanded one of
these extermination battalions, gave orders to the effect that all women
and girls found on roads, farms or in fields should first be raped, then have
their breasts cut off and finally be burned alive. Men were also treated in a
similar manner: first they lost their genitals, then their eyes, after which
their stomachs were cut open and they were finally killed as slowly as
possible. Being a member of Licht, Comrade Josef Goldman really did
represent an exceedingly strange, uncivilised and peculiar "culture".
Twenty men were arrested by the exterminators at the railway station in
Viluvere. They were taken to Tallinn where they were interrogated. The
Jewish commander of the seventh extermination battalion, L. Rubinov,
gave the order to murder these men in the Liiva forest. Before they were
killed, they were tied up with barbed wire, which cut through the palms of
their hands, and their ears were cut off.
Selma Ratsep in Kudina, the farmer Rudolf Pall near Tartu, Anna Kivi-
mae and her daughters Ulanda and Armilda near Tartu, Lembit Ital in
Kuusalu and many others were also murdered by the exterminators,
following torture. Anna Kivimae's head had been crushed, her daughters
had been raped, their eyes squeezed out. In western Estonia, August Savir
(40 vears old) had his stomach cut up, after which his head was crushed.
Three exterminators led by the Jew Leo Epstein stormed the 83-year-old
Karolina Muhlbaum's house in Jarva-Jaani on the 24th of July 1941. Her
house was plundered and she was forced to accompany them. Her body
was later found by a road leading into Kaagvere. The killers had smashed
her face.
The gardener Albert Palu was burned alive in Helme on the 5th of July
1941. Albert Simm and his wife in Puhajoe met the same fate. The 14-
year-old Tiit Kartes was arrested in Aseri later on the same day. He was
cruelly tortured, after which his genitals were cut off and he was
murdered. His body was found in the forest.
The exterminators flayed some of their victims alive, cut off their fin-
gers, tore off their arms. A shepherd boy was torn apart between two cars
near Haapsalu. Anette Lenk in Kuressaare was tortured with boiling water.
Jewish youths, acting as agents for Moscow, shot passing pedestrians in
Tartu from windows. A few of these murderers were caught. They were
carying bottles of petrol with which to start fires. Others were carrying
poison to poison wells.
