On January 10, 1942 the Jews of Gulyay Pole were taken to the police station on the pretext of being moved from the town. Then they were taken by cart to an anti-tank trench near the Zavety Lenina (Lenin’s Testament) Collective Farm. There the Jews were shot, together with some Gypsies. According to some sources, the shooting lasted for five days. When it was over, the policemen forced one Jew who was left alive to enter the trench and arrange the bodies. After that this Jew was shot as well. During the following weeks Germans and local policemen shot the Jews whom they found in hiding. The number of Jews murdered in the trench at the Zavety Lenina Collective Farm was about 500-600, including Jews from other counties, such as Novozlatopol and Pokrovskoye.
