One day, either in the autumn of 1941, December 1941, or in the autumn of 1942 (according to different testimonies) the Jews of Verkhnedneprovsk were assembled in the yard of the local police station on the pretext that they were going to be sent for agricultural work. The assembled people were loaded onto trucks and driven several kilometers outside the city to a large mound. There the Jews were forced to dig pits and to undress. Then they were shot. The perpetrators were most likely members of Einsatzkommando 6 of Einsatzgruppe C and also (according to some testimonies) Italian soldiers and local auxiliary policemen.
