 In 1944 researchers from the Cabinet for Jewish Culture of the Ukrainian Academy of Science travelled to the Transnistria and Moldova area. The researchers collected Yiddish folk songs sung in the ghettos and wrote down testimonies gathered from the survivors. In 1948, Moses Beregovskiy, Ruvn Lerner and Moyshe Maydanskiy, who had participated in the delegation, were arrested by the Soviet authorities for the crime of [engaging in] Jewish cultural activities.
