After the occupation of the village, the Germans forced the Jews to perform hard labor and tortured them whenever they could. The Jews' property was looted by German soldiers. Then, in September 1942 (according to Soviet sources, it was on a day between September 12-15), the German commander ordered 269 Jews to assemble at the storage barn of the collective farm. They were beaten and robbed during the night they spent in the storage barn. On the next morning, the Jews were herded into some vehicles and taken in the direction of Soldatskoye, under a cordon of local policemen. A little while later, the convoy halted, and the Jews were shot dead in a pit next to the road to Soldatskoye. The shooting was carried out by German soldiers armed with machine guns, with the assistance of the local police.

On the morning of September 12, 1942, following a German order, the Jews appeared at the Gestapo headquarters. On the same day at 7 o’clock in the morning, 54 Jews were taken to the banks of the Kuta River, south of the village, and were shot to death there.
