Remembering History: The cellar where Tsar Nicholas II of Russia and his family were killed, 1918. "When the royal family and their servants went into the cellar, they had no idea that they were about to be shot. The bullets ricocheted off of them...The victims died a slow and agonizing death, and the girls who survived the bullets, were bayoneted until they died." It was later discovered that "18 pounds of the Romanov diamonds had been sewn into [the princesses'] undergarments, causing the bullets to ricochet."
