Murder Story of Yagotin Jews at the Repnin Country Estate
Murder Site
Country Estate of the Repnins
Ukraine (USSR)
On October 5, 1941 a German murder squad arrived at Yagotin. In cooperation with the local authorities the squad's members ordered the local Jews to assemble at 8 a.m. in the building of a local clubhouse that had been a synagogue. 280 Jews, mostly women, children, and old people, were taken to the area of the country estate that had belonged to the Repnin family. There they were forced to undress and then were shot in groups of 5-10 in a deep pit that had been dug in advance. Some of the girls and young women were raped before the shooting by the squad's solders and the head of the local authority.
German reports indicate that on October 8, 1941 the town was searched for Jews by Sonderkommando 4a: 125 Jews were found and shot.
