Bogdanovka

Bogdanovka

Bogdanovka was an concentration camp for Jews that was established by the Romanian authorities during World War II as part of the Holocaust.

The camp was on the Bug river, in the Golta district of Transnistria and held 54,000 people by the end of 1941. In December 1941, after a typhus outbreak, a decision was made to kill everyone at the camp. Romanian and Ukrainian police, civilians, and soldiers began a massacre on December 21. Jews were forced to dig pits in the frozen ground with their bare hands, and pack them with corpses as their fellow inmates were shot or burned alive in barns. Over the course of four days, 40,000 Jews were killed.
