On May 30, 1942, about 800 Yanov Jews of all ages and both sexes were driven out of their homes and taken to the stables of the Kaganovich collective farm on the town’s outskirts. At noon of the same day these Jews were taken from the stables to a pit on the northwestern outskirts of Yanov, near the Polish cemetery close to the railway line to Khmelnik. There the victims were forced to strip and lie down in the pit, and were then shot dead. The perpetrators of this massacre were German rural and security policemen, the latter probably from the Kalinovka Security Police station. About 100 Yanov Jews who succeeded in avoiding this massacre were rounded up on June 6, 1942, taken to the same spot, and shot dead. The perpetrators of this massacre were apparently the same as those of the first one.
