Massive Grave Found
The grave (16 bones) was found by chance last month when workers
were preparing to lay gas pipelines in the village of Gvozdavka-1,
near Odessa, said Roman Shvartsman, a spokesman for the regional
Jewish community.

Roman Shvartsman "Nazi hunter"
The Nazis established two ghettos during World War II near the
village and brought Jews there from what is now Moldova as well as
Ukrainian regions, Shvartsman said. In November 1941, they set up a
concentration camp and killed about 5,000 Jews, he said.

Studies, said there are 250-350 mass grave sites from the Nazi
occupation, during which some 1.5 million Ukrainian Jews were
killed.
