On August 5, 1942 the German administration ordered the Jews to appear at the local police station in three days. Although the occupiers told the Jews that they were going to be relocated, they took the Jews by truck to a brick factory on Kommunisticheskaya Street, where 63 of them were killed. According the the results of an exhumation performed after the settlement was liberated, the victims had been killed by stabbing and shooting or, in some cases, by blows from rifle butts.
