5 November 1943
The selection of children and Jewish inhabitants unable to work has been carried out in the Šiauliai Ghetto.
The action was supervised by SS-Hauptsturmführer Förster. On that day, SS and ROA members who rushed from Kaunas have seized 570 children and 260 elderly Jews and sent them to the concentration camp (supposedly, to Auschwitz). The Judenrat members Ber Kartun, Aharon Katz and pediatrician Uriah Razovski, unable to leave the children alone in such a terrible journey, joined them and left together.
