 Since Avram no longer possessed either the photographs or the negatives, for whatever reason, OZNa agents did not go to the families of the victims to impound the material in question.Thus, one can argue cynically that the crime had been "investigated," although not to punish but rather to protect the guilty and to intimidate the families of the victims and the villagers from pursuing the matter any further.It should also be reiterated that in the closing months of World War II crossing the Romanian-Yugoslav frontier was relatively easy (as already discussed above).
