On December 10, 1941 76 [Ashkenazi] Jews, including women and children of all ages, appeared at the collection point at the town administration building (according to some sources, a school building) with their belongings, supposedly to be sent to work. They were taken under German guard via Sadovaya Street on the northern outskirts of the town to the nearby hatchery, where they were shot to death with sub-machine guns by a unit from Sonderkommando 11b at an anti-tank trench. According to some testimonies, the little children were put to death by smearing poison on their lips. The victims were buried on the spot by Romanian soldiers. Their belongings were loaded onto trucks and driven to the SD [headquarters].

On January 17 and 18, 1942 468 Krymchaks were ordered to assemble at two collection points on Ananyevskaya and Sadovaya Streets. On each street a gas van was parked. The people were loaded in groups of about 50 into these two gas vans. When they started to move, the people were asphyxiated. The bodies were thrown out and buried 1 kilometer south of the town, at an anti-tank trench on the Mariano state farm. Today this site is in the area of the Predgorye State Farm of Krinichnoye village. The trucks shuttled forth and back, disgorging more and more bodies into the trench. According to some testimonies, a few of individuals who survived the gassing regained consciousness after being thrown into the trench and tried to get out of it were found and shot to death by German and Romanian murder squads. The remaining belongings of the victims were divided up among the Germans and members of the auxiliary police and their families.
