On August 25, 1942, at 2 PM, the evacuees residing in the village of Borgustanskaya were rounded up. The German military picked out 170 Jewish evacuees and placed them in a separate column. The task of guarding the Jews was delegated to the local policemen, who told the arrestees that they would be taken to live elsewhere. That same evening, the Jews were herded into a tiny barn by German soldiers and the local policemen. The space was so cramped that the Jews, regardless of age, were unable to sit down, and had to stay on their feet all night long. During the night, the perpetrators would drag the women out of the barn and rape them. On the next day, the Jews were loaded onto 13 wagons and taken under guard in the direction of the town of Kislovodsk. En route, the column stopped at the Bolshevik collective farm. After confiscating their clothes and possessions, the German soldiers and local policemen shot 170 Jewish civilians at a destroyed dugout in the area of the collective farm.
