Primary School Building in Glinka

In January 1942 65 Jews from different locations in Glinka County were collected in a former Glinka village primary school building that was being used by the Gestapo. Among them there were 11 Jews - 5 adults and 6 children under the age of 12 - from Sinyaki village. According to some sources there were also refugees from other areas of the Smolensk District. The Jews were shot to death and their bodies were buried in a trench the following morning. Some sources state that the Jews were shot at the Glinka [railway] station.
