The toll is reproduced exactly as the source states it — never rounded, never added to another. Tolls overlap from one event to the next.
The Jews of Derajnia, a Podolia town near the railway, are shot in an action carried out the same autumn as those in neighboring localities.
Located in Podolia on the railway line, Derajnia sees its Jewish population confined to a closed quarter, put to work on the rail and road, then led to the pits in the surrounding area during the ghetto liquidation. A few families hidden by neighbors escape the operation and make their way to the villages of the south.
