Krasnoye

Jews first settled in Krasny at the beginning of the 19th century. In 1939 the 100 Jews of Krasny comprised 3 percent of the town's total population. Krasny was occupied on July 13, 1941. After a short time afterwards all the Jews were required to wear a yellow patch. On August 9, 1941, after being beaten and abused, a 38 year-old Jew, Boris Glushkin, was publicly hanged in the town. On August 27, 1941 the Jews of Krasny were concentrated into a ghetto encircled by barbed wire. All of its inmates were murdered on April 8, 1942. The town was liberated by the Red Army on September 26, 1943.
