• Description

  Sonderkommando: Collection of Documents and Materials on the Activities of Sonderkommando 4a in the Occupied Territory of the Ussr in 1941–1943 The collection, based on documents from the archives of Germany and Ukraine, examines the activities of Sonderkommando 4a, mainly in Ukraine, as well as the Voronezh, Kursk and Stalingrad (now Volgograd) regions of the Russian Federation, which, during the entire period of its activities, from its creation in June 1941 until its dissolution in November 1943, exterminated about 90 thousand people. The collection consists of two parts. The first part contains the documents and materials themselves, fully revealing the criminal activities of Sonderkommando 4a in 1941-1943. The second part is a biography of SS-Obersturmführer August Häfner, one of the team's officers in June–September 1941. June–September 1941 was the period during which the team carried out the greatest number of mass shootings: if during all 28 months of activity in the occupied Soviet territory the team exterminated about 90 thousand people, then in the first three months of its activity in Ukraine alone (from the end of June to the end of September 1941) – about 50 thousand, and Häfner played a key role in a number of these shootings.
