    The interviewee, a Ukrainian man born in 1928, discusses events near Bakhiv, Volyns'ka oblast', Ukraine; being requisitioned to help cover the bodies of Jews who had just been shot in a ditch near his house; hearing the repeated sounds of machine-gun fire as Jews were being shot; being told by local witnesses how the shootings were carried out; observing the victims as they were brought to the site by a train with more than 10 cars; the unloading of the trains; how bodies and clothing were arranged; and the participation of Ukrainian police and the use of Soviet prisoners-of-war.
