毒气货车
in nazi-occupied ukraine, mass executions of ukrainians were sometimes carried cut in gas vans. the ukrainian author anatoly kuznetsov writes:"on one occasion, a gas van arrived full of women. when the usual procedure was over and the shouting and banging had died down, the door was opened. after the fumes had cleared, the van was seen to be full of naked girls."there were more than a hundred of them, pressed tightly together. they all had their hair done up in scarves, as women do when they take a bath. they had probably been told when they were put into the van that they were on their way to the baths. the drunken germans hooted＊ with laughter, explaining that they were waitresses from the kiev nightclubs.

"在纳粹德国占领的乌克兰，乌克兰人遭集体处决，用的有时是毒气货车。乌克兰作家阿纳托利．库兹涅佐夫笔下有一段记载：「有一次，一辆满载女人的毒气货车开到，然后是例行的手续。呼叫声和拍打车厢声终于沉寂。车门开处，毒烟散去，只见车上满是裸体女郎。「她们有百多人，紧紧挤在一起，全部用头巾束起头发，一如女人沐浴时的样子。她们上车时，当局大概是说要送她们去澡堂。在场的德国人醉醺醺，得意洋洋，哈哈大笑，说这些女郎是基辅夜总会的服务员。」
