Silo Pit near Bezlesnyi
Sometime after the occupation of Bezlesny, probably in late November 1942, the German administration ordered a registration of the Jewish population of the rural community.
Seventy-five Jews, mostly women and children, showed up at the German administration building. The Germans robbed them on the spot, taking away all their belongings, and then led them to a silo pit at the Bezlesny farm. The Jews were forced to strip naked, and were then methodically shot dead by the Germans, who used machine guns. Two elderly Jewish women tried to hide, but were arrested, tortured, and murdered in a barn at the farm. Their bodies were left unburied near the silo pit.
One Jewish woman survived this massacre, and she left the killing site during the night, after the killers had gone away. However, she was caught on the next day, and executed by the German soldiers.
