Brick Factory near Volochisk

Apparently in September (or, according to the ChGK report, July or August) 1942 the Jews of Volochisk, mainly women and children, were driven from their homes in the ghetto by Ukrainian auxiliary police and collected at the town's square. Then they were taken to a camp located at the Volochisk railway station. Several days later they were taken by Ukrainian policemen from the camp to the brick factory located north of the town, near Fridrikhovka village. The victims were taken in groups of 50-60 to the edge of a pit, forced to strip naked, and then were shot to death with sub-machineguns by Gendarmerie men or were buried alive. The head of the Gendarmerie named German was in charge of this murder operation.
