On August 10 (other testimonies give the date as August 16 or September 19), 1941, Jews of all ages and both sexes living in Talnoye were assembled, ostensibly for registration before being sent to work in Uman, 40 kilometers southwest of Talnoye. All the assembled people were then led on foot along the Uman road. The victims were stopped in a field near the village of Belashki, about 5 kilometers from Talnoye, and were shot dead with machine guns. The perpetrators of this massacre, which reportedly claimed the lives of some 2,000 people (or about 3,000, according to one grossly exaggerated Soviet report), were men of Einsatzgruppe C and members of the local ethnic German militia.
