After the occupation of Pyatogorsk and Goryachevodskaya, the German military set up a POW camp in the area of the rural council of the village of Konstantinovskaya, 8 kilometers northeast of the village of Goryachevodskaya. The local authorities and the German military rounded up Soviet POWs, Jews, and Communist Party members living in the village and took them to that camp. Later, on September 13, 1942, some inmates were ordered to dig twelve pits, mostly for agricultural purposes, but one pit was left empty. On January 7 or 8, 1943, German soldiers shot nine inmates, including five Jewish women, at that empty pit.
