In October (according to other sources, in November),1941 the local occupation authorities ordered the Jewish population to assemble at the town’s market square. The 460 Jews who turned up brought with them valuables, warm clothes, and some food since they were told they were going to be transported to Lubny to work there. However, instead they were forced to walk to a killing site 600 meters from the town and were shot to death there.
