79 executions
154 internments in a concentration camp
49 releases.Einsatzgruppe D reports:
Situation and general mood General mood is governed, as before, by the food problem.The attitude towards the Jews has been confirmed. In general, the shooting of Jews has been positively received after the initial fear of similiar treatment for the rest of the population has subsided.
....................
Jews Simferopol, Yevpatoria, Alushta, Krasubasar, Kerch, and Feodosia and other districts of western Crimea are free of Jews. From November 16 to December 15, 1941, 17,645 Jews, 2,504 Krimchaks, 824 Gypsies, and 212 Communists and partisans have been shot. Altogether, 75,881 persons have been executed.
Rumors about executions in other areas complicated the action in Simferopol. Reports about actions against Jews gradually filter down from fleeing Jews, Russians, and also from the loose talk of German soldiers.
