On August 20, 1941 members of the 2nd company of the 45th Reserve Police Battalion, together with Ukrainian auxiliary policemen, drove many Jewish residents of the town out of their houses onto the street. According to one testimony, after they had been collected at Bazaranaya [Market] Square, a selection was carried out - women with little children were put aside, while men, women without children, and young girls were loaded onto trucks and taken outside the town, to the forest near the road leading from Sudilkov to the town of Slavuta. Upon their arrival at the murder site the Jews were taken in groups to the pit (or bomb crater) and shot to death in the back of the head by members of that 2nd company. According to the German report from the same month, 471 Jews were shot to death in this murder operation; during postwar judicial proceedings a West German court referred to at least 80 Jewish victims, men and women.
