Murder Story of Pavlograd Jews at the Pavlograd Jewish cemetery
Murder Site
Pavlograd
Ukraine (USSR)
According to Soviet reports, at the end of December 1941-early January 1942 dozens of civilians of Pavlograd, of all ages and both sexes, all obviously Jewish, were taken by truck to the Jewish cemetery near the vehicle plant (today a machinery plant). The victims were cruelly abused before being murdered; then their bodies were thrown into a ditch. The massacres were perpetrated by Germans and local auxiliary policemen.
The same location continued to be used as a murder site for local Jews during the whole period of the German occupation of Pavlograd.
From the article of Leonid Vinokurov "…And no one is saying Kaddish for them":
... Thousands of Jews who suffered a martyr's death are sleeping an eternal sleep in graves without names in the Jewish cemetery of the city of Pavlograd. Among them are many of my relatives - the Ingels, Kolomyers, Izyumskis, Brodskys, Korenskys, and Vinokurovs. May they rest in peace....
