Kalinovka Jewish Cemetery

Early in the morning of June 30, 1942 German rural and local auxiliary policemen rounded up about 500 Jews of Kalinovka and about 200 Jews from the town of Pikov and took them to the stables of the Molotov collective farm near the town of Kalinovka. There the Jews were held for several hours and a selection of the Jews was carried out during which about 30 skilled workers and several dozen people who claimed to be non-Jews were separated from the others. In the afternoon about 600 Jews were taken to the Jewish cemetery 1.5 kilometers from Kalinovka, where pits had been dug. When they arrived at the murder site, the victims were forced to strip naked, taken in small groups to the pits, and forced to lie face down in them. They were then shot in the back of the head. The shooting was apparently carried out by members of the Vinnitsa security police.
