On an unknown date in September 1941 an SS unit, apparently Einsatzkommando 5 of Einsatzgruppe C, assisted by local auxiliary policemen, rounded up about 200 male Jews of Lipovets and took them about 2 kilometers south of town to a field in the area of the villages of Berezovka, Vitsentovka, and Skitka. The victims were forced to strip naked, and then were taken in groups of several dozen to pits that had been dug in advance. They were forced to lie face down in the pits and then shot dead. In April 1942 about 800 Lipovets Jews of all ages and both sexes were taken to the same area and murdered in a similar manner. The perpetrators of this massacre were apparently members of the German rural police assisted by local auxiliary policemen, as well as members of the Vinnitsa security police. About 170 Jews of Lipovets and the towns and villages of the district were shot at the same place and in the same manner in June 1942, apparently by the same perpetrators as those of the April 1942 massacre.
