On the morning of June 10, 1942, some 1,400 Jews from the Ulanov Ghetto, including some residents of Salnitsa who had been deported to Ulanov, were taken by the Germans, with the assistance of local policemen, to the area of the town’s Polish cemetery. Some 250 Jews were taken from there to the Kalinovka labor camp, where they were forced to build an airfield. At the cemetery, the rest of the Jews were taken to pits, where they were forced to undress. They were then shot dead in groups. The shooting lasted several days, ending on June 14, by which point about 450 teenagers had been shot. Afterward, local people were forced to cover the pits. The last murder operation at the Polish cemetery apparently took place in December 1942, and it claimed the lives of the remaining 150 Jews.
