Basement of a Parking Lot Building in Zlatopol

Several hundred Zlatopol ghetto inmates were gassed in the basement of the local vehicle-park building. According to different sources, either two or three such murders took place between November 1941 and March 1942. During the one in November 1941 174 Jews - men, women, children, and old people - were murdered. During the second one, in January 1942, according to different sources, either 168 or 214 Jews were gassed in the same way. Apparently another murder operation was carried out months later, but the date and number of the victims remain unknown. After the murder operations the corpses were thrown into wells located near the local market and near the slaughter house. Some of the victims were thrown into the wells while still alive. In January 1944 the vehicle-park building was blown up by retreating German troops.
