Czetwiertnia Area

Early in the morning of October 10, 1942, on the Sabbath day, Ukrainian auxiliary policemen and apparently a Gendarmerie (German rural order police) unit surrounded the ghetto and drove its residents onto the street. After being collected, the inmates of the ghetto were taken to a pit that had been prepared on the outskirts of the village. Upon their arrival at the site, the Jews, in families, were made to strip naked, forced into the pit, and shot to death, apparently by a Gendarmerie murder squad. After the murder Ukrainian policemen guarded the killing site and the ghetto area.
