On February 23, 1942, a group of 50 Jews were convoyed outside the village of Maryinka and shot in its vicinity, in a pit that had been dug in advance. According to Soviet documents, this group included men, women, and children, with most of the victims being refugees from Western Ukraine. Prior to the shooting, they had been imprisoned in the basement of some building and subjected to torture and abuse. The same sources indicate that some of the children were not killed, but thrown into the pit alive.
