Since the beginning of the war many Jewish hid there. Charles Krameisen was the only survivor. He went to the police to tell the tragedy. Robert Monheit (the donor) helped to hid Jews from Alsace-Lorraine (his hometown) to Saint-Amand-Montrond and nearby villages such as La Chartre.

Regarding the wells, as he was in charge of reorganizing the post-war Jewish life in Alsace-Lorraine and had already links with Saint-Amand, he was part of the witnesses invited to attend the exhumation of the bodies of victims. His religious functions confirmed that the survivors had lost their spouses and therefore gave them permission to remarry.
