Krasnoye Well (Gas Vans)

On January 21 or 22, 1942 an SD unit from Simpferopol, reinforced by members of the 683th Motorized Military Police Detachment, arrived at the Maxim Gorki kolkhoz. All the Jews were assembled in the kolkhoz office, supposedly to be registered by the occupying authorities. The Jews were then forced into a gas van, which drove toward a well one kilometer southwest of Krasnoye village. On the same day the bodies of Jews from the villages of Kalininskoye and Pervomayskoye who had been gassed were thrown into the same well.
