Freight Train Station

On November 20 or 21, 1941 the Ashkenazi Jews living in Yevpatoria were ordered to appear, ostensibly to be resettled, at the building which, before the war, had housed a school for commanders of Soviet anti-air defence. Locally it was called "the military house" (today it is a sanatorium for anti-aircraft defense forces). The building was located in the northern part of the city near the "resort" train station. The 650 Jews who appeared were locked into the buidling. On November 23 they were taken outside, ordered to undress to their underwear, loaded onto trucks, and taken to anti-tank trenches near the freight train station. There all of them were shot. The killings were carried out by members of Sonderkommando 11a of Einsatzgruppe D.
