At 3 a.m. on May 27, 1942, in Teplik German soldiers and Lithuanian and local Ukrainian auxiliary policemen woke up about 800 Jews, mostly women, children, and elderly people. These Jews were driven out of their houses in the ghetto, loaded onto trucks, and taken several hundred meters southwest of Teplik to an area between the town of Teplik and the village of Zaluzhye, where before the war soap had been boiled from the fat of dead animals. There the victims were forced to strip naked and then lie face down in the pits where animal carcasses had previously been buried: then they [the victims] were shot dead in the back of the head by German security policemen who had arrived from Vinnitsa and were apparently members of a security police unit of Vinnitsa [responsible for] a construction area of Thoroughfare IV.
