Notes

129 “Conveyed them to the [gas chamber]”: News from Ukraine quotes Danilchenko as saying: “conveyed them to the so called ‘murder bus.’” This appears to be a clumsy translation from the article, which was originally written in Ukrainian.

130 Demjanjuk’s mother got a letter: Demjanjuk testified about his contacts with his mother at his deportation hearing and at the Israeli trial. There are differences.

132 The account in this chapter is a composite of those testimonies. 132 The Trawniki story is based on Arad, Black (“Foot Soldiers), Browning, Pohl, and Rich.

132 Approximately five thousand: Black puts the number at 5,082.

133 “Because we were all starving”: Quoted by Black, “Foot Soldiers,” 7.

134 “No one wanted to return”: Ibid.

135 Citations for outstanding: Black, “Askaris,” 292.

136 At least one thousand: Black, “Askaris,” 359, and especially Black, “Foot Soldiers,” 12.

136 A monthly salary: Black, “Foot Soldiers,” 13.

138 “These units have proved”: Quoted in http://www.ushmm.org/wlc/en/article.php?ModuleId=10007397.
