More than 100,000 Jews, or around one third of the Lviv's population at the time, were killed by the Nazis, according to a local historian.
city of Lviv, diggers have uncovered new hiding spots in underground sewers where some Jews managed to flee from Nazi occupying forces during World War Two., according to the local historian Hanna Tychka.
Family members of survivors have paid tribute to historian Hanna Tychka and the team who made the discovery, saying as the numbers of those who survived the Holocaust dwindle, new generations of all backgrounds had to keep telling their stories.Chiger dug a seven-meter-long tunnel to the sewer from his ghetto barrack, breaking the sewer's concrete wall, which was 90-cm thick, Tychka said.
In Lyiv, Tychka and her team in July discovered a tiny cave where they believe Jews fleeing the ghetto would spend their first night before moving on to a larger shelter in the sewage system. Chiger's family was part of a larger group that also included Halina Wind Preston, then in her early twenties.
A baby born to one of the women in the group, whose husband had been swept away by water while going out to get drinking water, had to be suffocated for fear that its crying would give away their location, Preston said.
