On September 18, 1941 the residents of the collective farms Chervona Zirka and Arbet were taken to a school building at Chervona Zirka. There the Jews were separated from the non-Jews and the former were told they were going to be resettled. About 600 Jews of all ages and both sexes were then taken to a well 1.5 kilometers west of Chervona Zirka, forced to strip to their underwear, and shot dead. The perpetrators of the massacre were apparently German and local auxiliary policemen.
