In January 1942 36 Jewish children age 4 to 9, who were living in an orphanage, were selected from the other children by policemen. The children were taken away on the pretext of being taken for a sleigh ride. Instead, they were moved toward a nearby stable where the children were stripped naked and forced to kneel in front of a pit that had been prepared in advance. All the children were shot and thrown into the pit even though some of them were only wounded. According to some sources the policemen who carried out the shooting also killed two dogs and threw them into the pit together with the children.
