"The Last Jew in Vinnitsa is a photograph taken during the Holocaust in Ukraine showing a Jewish man near the town of Vinnitsa (Vinnytsia) about to be shot dead by a member of Einsatzgruppe D, a mobile death squad of the Nazi SS. The victim is kneeling beside a mass grave already containing bodies; behind, a group of SS and Reich Labour Service men watch." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Jew_in_Vinnitsa
"Einsatzgruppen were Schutzstaffel (SS) paramilitary death squads of Nazi Germany that were responsible for mass killings, primarily by shooting, during World War II (1939–45) in German-occupied Europe. The Einsatzgruppen were involved in the murder of much of the intelligentsia, including members of the priesthood, and cultural elite of Poland, and had an integral role in the implementation of the so-called "Final Solution to the Jewish Question". Historian Raul Hilberg estimates that between 1941 and 1945 the Einsatzgruppen, related agencies and foreign auxiliary personnel killed more than two million people, including 1.3 million of the 5.5 to 6 million Jews murdered during the Holocaust." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einsatzgruppen

I‘m curious: who took the photo? I mean, the SS were convinced, that what they are doing is correct, but documenting murder like this seems a little… stupid?

Wasn’t Ukraine under Soviet control?
