Kantugany Well

According to one of the local inhabitants, Jews mostly from Fraydorf County were murdered at a well just outside Fraydorf town. The people were taken to Fraydorf, locked into one or more barns on the town's outskirts, then made to walk barefoot to a well situated in the place previously known as Kantugany. We do not know the date of this massacre or massacres, the precise number of victims, or the identity of the perpetrators.

Fraydorf Well

Early in the morning of November 21, 1941 a detachment of Sonderkommando 11b arrived in Fraydorf. About 60 Jews remaining in the town were taken to the local police station. From there they were taken on foot into the steppe to a well 800 meters from the town and shot there. The young children were thrown into the well alive. According to the Soviet Extraordinary State Commission, Jews from Boz-Oglu (Buzul), Montanay and, apparently, from other locations in Fraydorf County were murdered at the same place at the end of 1941.
