Abstract: (En) One of the large scale massacres in Chişinău took place in the village of Ghidighici. At the end of august 1941 a group of Jews from the Kishinev Ghetto were sent to work at Ghidighici railway station. After being attacked with rocks by Romanian soldiers in a military train and seriously injured they complained to the authorities. The investigation of facts, lead by Romanian military authorities stated that the soldiers had to retaliate, because they were assaulted by Jews. Found guitly the labour group, consisting of 350 Jews were murdered by the 2nd Machine Gun Company, 10th Divisionary Battalion at the orders of lieutenant colonel Nicolae Deleanu, who commanded the firing squad that shot the Jews. The case of mass murder was looked into after the 1945, in the Romanian Trials of War Crimes.
