On October 17 or 18, 1941 members of the repair-train of the 1st SS Infantry Brigade assembled the Jews of Sholokhovo and the surrounding villages, totaling 200 people of all ages and both sexes, in a valley about 40 to 50 kilometers from Sholokhovo under the pretext of resettling them. The Jews were shot at a pit that had been prepared ahead of time. First the children were shot, then the rest of the Jews were taken to the edge of the pit and shot in the back of the head. The massacre, which apparently lasted for several days, was carried out, on orders of the commander of the repair-train, SS-Untersturmfuehrer Max Taeubner, by the staff of the repair-train and German and local auxiliary policemen.
