On November 5, 1941 40 men and youths were taken from the ghetto and shot to death in an anti-tank trench next to the slaughter-house on the outskirts of town, near the cemetery. On November 14 most of the remaining Jews in the ghetto, mainly women, were shot to death at the same site by a German killing unit that had arrived from Krichev. The number of the victims at this location is estimated at 100.
