Agricultural Service Base near Vetka
On December 1, 1941, six SD officers arrived in Vetka and ordered the commandant of the town to collect on the next day all the local Jews for registration. All of them who came for registration were ordered to hand over the keys to their apartments and then forced into a stable. The Jews were then taken in groups to anti-tank trenches just outside the town at the agricultural service base and ordered to undress to their underwear. Then they were shot to death. The number of victims was estimated to have been 360.
