 According to reader
John
Fowley
(Sunday, August 28, 2005) the young girl shown is a
seventeen-year old Jewess, Masha Bruskina,
and the date is October 26, 1941, in the city of
Minsk. The young man with her is Volodya
Sherbateivich, and the older one as Kril
Trous. See too: David Irving, Radical's
Diary and
correspondence.
The execution gallows was set up at the gates of a
nearby yeast factory.For an energetic though
loosely argued defence of the proposition that the
Unidentified Young Female about to be executed is
the (Jewish) teenager Masha Bruskina, citing
several eye-witnesses who claimed to have known
her, see the paper by Nechama Tec and
Daniel Weiss, both also Jewish, in
Holocaust and Genocide Studies, VIII, No.3,
winter 1997, pages 366-377. Locations
(click air photo below to enlarge): - Heutige Leninstrasse
- Platz der Freiheit
- Marienkirche
- Dominikanische Kirche (1960-en
zerstört)
- Alte Palast von Radzivillen, später
Stadttheater (zerstört 1986)
- Platz des zerstörtes Europahotel
(2005-2006 neu gebaut aber auf dem Platz des
zerstörtes Stadttheater(No. 5))
- Ehemalige Dominikanische Strasse, heute
Internationale strasse
- Alexanderpark
Also die "Partisanen" stehen in der
Dominikanischen Strasse neben dem alten
Stadttheather (No.5: rechts gut zu
erkennen), hinter auf dem Hintergrund sieht man
auch eine Türmchen von Dominikanische Kirsche.
Es ist die südliche Seite des Freiheitsplatz
oder heutige Internationalestrasse.
