According to some sources 820 Jews were collected at the railway station; most of them were old people, women, and children. Other sources report about 1,530 victims. Their possessions were taken away by the local railroad police. Some sources say the victims were then taken to the building of the railway employees' club, ostensibly to be disinfected. Two gas vans that had previously arrived in the town were driven up to the building. Groups of victims, who had been forced to undress, were pushed into the vans; then the vehicles left for the area of Sadkoopkhoz (the Garden cooperative farm). The victims were gassed on the way and their bodies were thrown into a pit that had been dug in sandy soil. The corpses were buried by Soviet prisoners of war.
