On August 10 (or 15, according to the ChGK report), 1942, on the orders of the Gebietskommissar Fritz Michaelis all the inmates of the ghetto were driven to the main square of the ghetto. During the selection that was carried out a group of artisans with their families was given work permits and taken out of the ghetto. The remaining Jews were collected in the synagogue building, but some of them tried to escape and were subsequently shot to death inside the ghetto. According to one testimony, after the murder the Jewish artisans were ordered to bury those murdered and to put aside their clothes. The Germans took the best clothes for themselves, while the rest were sold to Ukrainian auxiliary policemen and, apparently, to some members of the local population.
