Animal Burial Ground near Novaya Karakuba

According to Soviet documents, Jewish women, children, and elderly people from the the Novozlatopol County (Zaporozhye District) and elsewhere were shot at the Telman collective farm in Novaya Karakuba. The victims were murdered at the farm's cattle cemetery, and thrown into a pit there. Apparently, they were shot in small groups, over the period from November 1941 to August 1942. According to some testimonies, most of the victims had come to the farm to barter their possessions for food. The total number of victims is about 120. While some testimonies indicate that most of the victims were Jews, some non-Jews were probably killed there, as well.
