Murder story of Ingulets Jews in the Ingulets Ravine

On June 10 (July 12 or December, according to different Soviet sources) 1942 about 1,400 Jews from Ingulets and the area were assembled in Ingulets in the building of the former synagogue. The Jews were told they were going to be resettled in Palestine and were ordered to take their valuables with them. After all of them were assembled, about 300 able-bodied Jews were taken to work to build the Krivoy Rog-Dnepropetrovsk road. The rest were locked up until the next morning. At dawn the children had their lips smeared with a poison and were taken away in carts, the rest were taken on foot, in groups, to a ravine on the outskirts of Ingulets. At the murder site the victims were ordered to undress and to step onto a plank thrown over the ravine; then they were shot with machine-gun fire. The perpetrators of this massacre were mostly local auxiliary policemen.
