  • The Pripyat Marshes massacres (German: Prypyatsümpfe Säuberung) were a series of mass murders, carried out by German military forces, against Jewish civilians in Belarus and Ukraine, during July–August 1941. SS leader Heinrich Himmler ordered these operations, which were carried out by units of the Wehrmacht (both army and Waffen SS). These units were ordered to kill as many Jews as possible, in a region in and around the Pripyat Marshes, comprising nine raions of the Byelorussian SSR and three raions of the Ukrainian SSR. These massacres are considered to be the first planned mass murders of civilians carried out by Nazi Germany. At least 13,788 people were killed in phase one and 3,500 Jewish men and boys were killed in phase two. The principal means of execution employed was mass shootings, after the local populace had been rounded up. Other methods were also tried, including driving people into the swamps and drowning them, though this was largely ineffective owing to their shallowness. Among others, the villages of Dvarets, Khochan', Azyarany, Starazhowtsy and Kramno, were completely destroyed by burning and Turaw was partially destroyed. (en)
  • I massacri delle paludi del Pryp"jat' (in tedesco: Prypyatsümpfe Säuberung) furono una serie di omicidi di massa, compiuti dalle forze militari tedesche, contro i civili ebrei in Bielorussia e Ucraina, durante il luglio-agosto 1941. Il leader delle SS Heinrich Himmler ordinò queste operazioni, furono effettuate dalle unità della Wehrmacht sia dell'esercito che delle Waffen SS: a queste unità fu ordinato di uccidere il maggior numero possibile di ebrei, in una regione intorno alle paludi del Pryp"jat', comprendente nove raions della RSS Bielorussa e tre raions della RSS Ucraina. Questi massacri sono considerati i primi omicidi di massa pianificati di civili perpetrati dalla Germania nazista. Almeno 13788 persone furono uccise nella prima fase, mentre nella seconda fase furono uccisi 3500 persone tra uomini e ragazzi ebrei. Il principale sistema impiegato nelle esecuzioni fu la sparatoria di massa, dopo aver radunato la popolazione locale, furono provati anche metodi alternativi incluso l'annegamento nelle paludi. I villaggi di Dvarets, Khochan', Azyarany, Starazhowtsy e Kremna furono completamente distrutti da un incendio mentre Turaw fu parzialmente distrutto. (it)
