Davyd Shapiro recalls an unnamed older man telling him in 1971 that, by the end of 1932, covered cars and wagons were picking up the dead and the starving. They were driven down vul. Dorohozhytska to the Syrets district. The man claimed there was a “death camp” of sorts there. The dead were buried and the dying were kept in barracks without any medical help. This went on until the end of 1933.
