In December 1942 Jews from various localities in Shirokoye County and, apparently, also from Shirokoye itself, who had managed to escape the initial massacres, as well as “Soviet [i.e. government] activists,” were shot in several pits near the town of Ingulets, northwest of Shirokoye. According to Soviet reports, the victims were forced to stand on boards laid over pits and then were shot. The children were thrown into the pits alive. According to Soviet sources, the massacre claimed the lives of 1,200 people. The identity of the perpetrators is not known.
