Starting on February 16, 1942, the Jews from various places in Ulyanovka County were collected at the county gendarmerie and police headquarters or, according to other sources, in a former school building. While kept there, the Jews were beaten and tortured. On February 19, 1942, the 219 victims were taken to a ravine on Gagarin Street. Before the shooting the victims were forced to strip naked. The Jews were then mostly shot to death from submachine-guns and rifles; some of them, mostly children, were buried alive. The local police, as well as some village heads, many of them of German origin, participated in the collection and shooting of the victims. Apparently other shootings of Jews were carried out in Ulyanovka. According to some sources as many as 700 Jews were later shot at the same murder site.
