On June 3, 1942 about 250 (or 500, according to some reports of the Soviet Extraordinary Commission) Jews from Kazatin were transported from the Kazatin ghetto to a prisoner of war camp about 1 kilometer from Kazatin. The next day all of those prisoners, irrespective of age or sex, except for about 20 or 30 skilled workers and those deemed by the Germans to be fit for work, were taken by truck toward Talimonovka village, about 2 kilometers south of Kazatin. There at a ravine in the area of a former shooting range, located between Talimonovka village and the road leading from Kazatin to the village of Sokolets, the victims were ordered to strip naked. Then they were taken one by one to the pit and shot to death. A group of about 20 Gypsies was shot together with the Jews. The perpetrators of this massacre were German security and order policemen, both from Kazatin itself and from Berdichev, and local auxiliary policemen. In December 1942 the several dozen Jews who had been spared during the massacre of June of that year were shot at the same location.
