On May 13, 1942 about 200 Sinelnikovo Jews were shot in the area of a housing cooperative on the southern outskirts of the town. (This was also the murder site of about 120 Jewish and non-Jewish members of the Communist Party and government officials.) The victims were taken from the local police station to the murder site by truck and then shot. It is not known when the massacre or massacres took place. The perpetrators were apparently German gendarmes and local auxiliary policemen.
