On September 13, 1941 members of the German 304th Order Police Battalion arrived in Ladyzhin from Gaysin, about 20 kilometers northeast of Ladyzhin. Together with local Ukrainian auxiliary policemen, they gathered most of the Jews of Ladyzhin at the church square in the center of the town. From there the victims were marched on foot over the Bug River, which separated the Romanian and German occupation zones, toward the village of Basalychevka, about 10 kilometers north of Ladyzhin, where there was a ravine that had been expanded in preparation for the massacre. Shortly before the ravine the victims were ordered to strip and then were taken in groups to the edge of the ravine and shot dead there. Many other victims were thrown into the ravine alive. The total number of the victims of this massacre was about 500.
