In February 1942, according to some sources on February 18, the Jews of Vyshkovvo village, located 7 kilometers from Zlynka, were taken by cart to the ghetto on the territory of the MTS. In the evening the Jews of Zlynka and Vyshkovo were taken to an anti-tank trench 400 meters northwest of the ghetto. The trench had been cleared of snow by local residents and several Jewish prisoners from the ghetto. Around 10 – 12 Germans entered the trench and shot in the back of the head the Jews who were pushed into the trench. Those victims that still remained at the edge of the trench were guarded by the Germans. When the shooting was over local residents who had been brought close to the shooting site covered the bodies with snow and little earth. The number of Jewish victims is estimated to be 214 people. Several Jews managed to escape from the ghetto before the rest were taken to the murder site.
