After the massacres that accompanied the outbreak of war, the surviving Jews of Kichinev were confined in a ghetto and then deported to Transnistria.
Bessarabia, retaken from the Soviet Union by Romania, was treated as a region to be "purified." Deportation to Transnistria — Ukrainian territory placed under Romanian administration — was not mere banishment: the convoys crossed the Dniester on foot, in columns, and many never arrived. It was an extermination by marching and starvation, distinct in its methods from that carried out by the Germans through mass shooting.
