On February 13, 1942 a group of 25 Jews from Sudak, mainly consisting of women and children, was shot to death by a Sonderkommando 10b murder squad and a military police (Feldgendarmerie) unit near the former sanatorium of the Leningrad Military District, at a anti-tank trench on the town's beach, near the location of today's life-guard station. The Germans forced the victims to strip naked. The Jews were abused and beaten. The women and children were the first to be collected at edge of the anti-tank trench and shot to death with sub-machine guns. The men were made to bury them. Then, the men were shot to death in a similar way. Apparently, their bodies were left there. The exact murder site has not been identified. During the war this area was also the murder site of the other residents of Sudak - Communists, government officials, and non-Jewish civilians.
