Yekaterina Saponenko, who was born in 1924 in Davydovka and lived there during the war years, testified:
Interview by Alexander Litin in 2011
The Jews were neither rounded up nor taken anywhere. The policemen murdered them right in their yards or shot them behind the barns. Then the bodies were collected and then taken away by horses and buried in one pit. I do not remember when the memorial was erected. There are very few names on the monument: the number of those shot to death was much greater.
