In September 1942, the German headquarters ordered to round up all the Jewish evacuees and take them to School No. 6 on Ternovka Street. The Jews were told that they would be evacuated to another collective farm, where they would work. Of course, this was a mere pretext. The Germans warned the local authorities that any attempt to shelter Jews would be punished by death. Following this order, the local authorities carried out a roundup of the Jews, and, on a certain day in late September 1942, the local Jews were brought to that school from all over the Kalnibolotsky County. According to local non-Jewish eyewitnesses, a black gas van then arrived and drove the Jews, in two groups, to the community garden. A pit had been dug in the garden in advance. According to the eyewitnesses, the vast majority of the Jews were already dead upon arrival, and the Germans had to kill only the few Jews who had managed to survive the gassing. On that day, the Germans, with the assistance of the local authorities and volunteers from other areas of the occupied Soviet Union, murdered a total of forty-eight Jewish evacuees.
