In the evening of January 6, 1942 Germans and local policemen surrounded the village of Tishkovka and raided the Jewish homes in order to collect the Jews in the center of the village. They were told to take their valuables and documents with them. Some sources say that the gendarmerie building was the collection point. During the early hours of January 7 the Jews were loaded onto trucks and taken outside the village to a nearby ravine. There the victims were forced to undress and were then shot to death in the ravine. Only two young people, a brother and a sister, managed to escape. The number of victims is estimated at 72; other sources mention members of 30 Jewish families. According to some sources the murder operation was carried out on May 6, 1942 near Medyshina village.
