  up the dead bodies from mass graves and burn them
  so there was no trace of brutality.

  Marches.

Death Marches

  complete.
• Many of the Jews died of hunger, illness, or they
  were shot for being to weak to walk.

  them were cold enough that the snow seemed like a
  warm blanket to them.

  woke up.
