NP: Mass Holocaust grave found in Ukraine

[rich]

duly noted but I'm not sure the local populations were ever able to pull off
a mass execution of that size in the east.

even the Germans had to give up the rather primitive methods of beatings and
shootings once the decision was made to enact the Final Solution. I think
one has to remember the large scale industrial killing by the Third Reich
occurred only within a couple of years (mostly late 42 to early 45) out of
the 12 it was in existence. Unfortunately, they made up all that lost time
rather quickly thanks to Himmler, Eichmann, and the rest.
