According to several testimonies, in September 1941 outside of Apostolovo, near the road connecting Krivoy Rog and Nikopol, about 60 of the village's inhabitants, Jews of all ages and both sexes and non-Jews who had been classified by the Germans as "undesirables" were murdered. It is not known how many of the victims were Jewish, who the perpetrators were, or exactly when the massacre or massacres took place.

According to testimonies, in June or July 1942 inhabitants of Apostolovo, apparently both non-Jews and Jews, numbering between 130 and 140 were taken to a building at the Apostolovo railway station. There they were loaded onto trucks and driven outside the village to the animal burial ground. On the way some of them were able to jump off one of the trucks and run away. The remaining, approximately 60, people were shot. According to the testimonies, the massacre was perpetrated by Germans, Kalmyk collaborators, and local auxiliary policemen.
