On October 10, 1941 Germans and Ukrainian policemen assembled the Jews of Krivoy Rog of all ages and both sexes in the building of a former synagogue. On October 14, 1941, in the morning, the assembled Jews were arranged into two huge columns and led to a pit near Iron Ore Mine No. 5, located outside the city. There the Jews were forced to undress and subjected to humiliations. Groups of 10 to 15 people were then driven to the edge of the pit, where Germans and Ukrainians armed with sub-machine guns shot them dead and rolled their bodies into the pit. Children were thrown into the pit alive. The massacre continued on the following day, October 15. The number of victims of this two-day massacre was about 3,000 on the first day and about 4,000 on the second day. The perpetrators of this mass murder were members of the 1st SS Infantry Brigade, the 314th Order Police Battalion, and Ukrainian auxiliary policemen.
