Late in May 1942 the Jews living in Kamenka were ordered to assemble at the village square near a stable. After the selection of all those still capable of work and their dispatch to the Avdotiyevka labor camp, the remaining Jews, consisting of women, children, and old people, were locked in the stables for several days without food or water. On May 29 or 30, together with the Jews from Izluchistoye, Novo-Zhitomir, Trudovoye, and several other Jewish agricultural colonies, they were taken to the village of Zlatoustovka and shot at a ravine there, together with local Jews. The official Soviet figure for the number of Kamenka Jews shot near Zlatoustovka is 251. The massacre was perpetrated by Germans and local auxiliary policemen.
