using firearms. The suicides were either carried out with guns, razor blades or
poison, others hanged or drowned themselves in the Peene and Tollense rivers.

of the rivers with a rock in a backpack and their babies in their arms. Some women
committed suicide by walking into the rivers, tied together. A local forester first
shot three young daughters, then their mothers, then his wife. In another recorded
