One early morning in August 1942, the Germans arrested 46 Jewish civilians and 14 Soviet POWs, and took them by truck to an old brick factory some two kilometers from the village. A pit had been dug next to the factory. The Jewish civilians and Soviet POWs had to strip to their underwear. Half-naked, they had to enter the pit, and the Germans proceeded to shoot them with pistols. The killers aimed at the victims' necks, to ensure that they died instantly.
