In November 1941, the German Army occupied the Crimea peninsula. In a short time, murderous Aktionen of the Jews begin - as in the rest of the Soviet occupied territories. The Nazis planned to turn the Crimea into an inseparable part of the Third Reich - they called it GOTENLAND - the land of the Goths. The shores of Crimea were supposed to be the shores of a German Riviera. German families were to settle in vast estates on the peninsula. The Nazi idea was not realized. But one part of the plan - the total murder of the Jews and members of the Crimean community - was carried out.
