Anti-Tank Trench near Snigirevka
In late September (or August, according to some eyewitnesses) 1941, Jews from Snigirevka and the surrounding villages were rounded up by men of Sonderkommando 10a of Einsatzgruppe D, members of the local Gendarmerie, and auxiliary policemen. The victims were assembled in the courtyard of the Gendarmerie office in Snigirevka. After being subjected to brutal abuse, the assembled Jews were taken by truck to an anti-tank trench 3 kilometers east of the village, across the Ingulets River. There, the victims were forced to strip to their underwear, then led in small groups to the lip of the trench and shot dead. This massacre claimed the lives of some 100 Jews. The perpetrators were mostly members of Sonderkommando 10a. According to eyewitnesses, Wehrmacht soldiers also took part in the killing.
