Sudzhukskaya Kosa

On October 15, 1942, the Germans registered the Jews at the Gestapo headquarters at no. 3 Gubernskaya Street in Novorossiysk. They told them that they had to appear the next morning at the same location.
The Germans told the Jews that they were going to be resettled in Krasnodar Kray, where they would be able to engage in trade and build a new Jewish community. The next morning about one thousand people turned up at the Gestapo headquarters. German soldiers immediately surrounded them, stole their valuables, and loaded them onto trucks. They were taken to the Black Sea port of Sudzhukskaya Kosa in Novorossiysk. The Jews were shot to the death there and thrown into an anti-tank trench.
