After occupying Tbilisskaya, the Germans began to comb the area for Jews. Some of them were killed at once, by being drowned in the Kuban River. Later, the Germans found other Jewish evacuees from Belarus and Ukraine in the villages of Severnoye, Sheremtyevka, and Vannovka. These Jews were taken to an anti-tank trench in the village of Vannovka. There, they were ordered to strip naked, and then shot with machine guns. The Germans murdered a total of 213 Jews in the Kuban River and in the anti-tank trench in Vannovka.
