In May 1942 Germans and local policemen arrested about 500 Jews of Pyatikhatka and the County and brought them to the Glavogneupor mines on the outskirts of the town. The victims were forced to undress and then were shot to death. Their bodies were thrown into the mines. The children were thrown into the mines alive. After the shooting hand grenades were thrown into the mines. The majority of the perpetrators of this massacre were local auxiliary policemen.
