On May 9, 1942 450 Jews were driven by Ukrainian policemen from their houses in the ghetto to the town square. Then, in a column, they were taken to be shot at a ravine located 10 kilometers from the town, near Stanislavovka village. According to one testimony, the little children were taken there on carts. Those who couldn't walk and sick people were shot to death on the way to the murder site. Upon their arrival at the shooting place the victims were made to take off their clothes and were taken by force in groups of 4-5 to the ravine's edge and shot to death there. Their clothes were taken away. On the same day the Jews from Zinkov were also murdered at the same location. A group of skilled workers and craftsmen from Vinkovtsy, who initially had been taken to be shot, were released and kept in the ghetto. According to one testimony, after the murder operation a group of Jewish men was made to collect and throw the bodies of the victims into a pit that had been prepared for this purpose. Afterwards, they [the forced buriers] were shot to death.

On May 9, 1942, early in the morning, about 600 Jews (many of them sick, elderly people, or women with children), including Zinkov's rabbi with his family, were driven, by Ukrainian policemen who had surrounded the town the evening before, out of their homes in the ghetto and taken under guard outside the town, to a ravine near Stanislavovka village, located about 3 kilometers southeast of Zinkov. The ravine had been deepened three days before the murder operation. The Jews were ordered to take off their clothes, taken in groups to the edge of the ravine, and shot to death by an SS unit. The little children were thrown into the ravine alive. According to one testimony, during the shooting the Germans took photographs of the victims. On the same day 450 Jews from the nearby town of Vinkovtsy were murdered at the site as well. After the murder the Germans set off two charges of dynamite but since these explosions barely covered the bodies, according to one testimony, about 50 Jewish men were brought to the ravine to cover the bodies with earth. On August 4, 1942, at night, Ukrainian policemen surrounded the ghetto and drove its inmates from the houses. The Jews were told to take their valuables with them since they were supposedly going to be sent to Palestine. When they arrived at the Stanislavovka ravine, the victims were forced to strip and, in groups of five, were lined up at the edge of the ravine and shot to death with sub-machineuns by the SS men. Gebietskommissar (regional commissar) Eduard Eggers was in charge of these two murder operations. Small children were thrown alive into the ravine by the Ukrainian policemen. Afterwards residents of the nearby village were made to cover the bodies with earth.

In the summer of (or, according to a ChGK document, on April 14) 1942 1,875 Jews from Vinkovtsy (apparently, including some from the surround area) were driven out of their homes in the ghetto by Ukrainian policemen, collected at the town square, and then taken under guard by Ukrainian policemen to the shooting site. They were made to take off their clothes and were shot to death in a field in the vicinity of the town, near Tatarinka village. On August 6, 1942 an SD murder squad from Kamenets-Podolsk shot to death, apparently at the same location, the few Jews who had remained in the Vinkovtsy ghetto.
