Rural Administration Courtyard in Kachkarovka
Ukraine (USSR)
In August 1941, five Kachkarovka Jews - two women, an old man, and two children - and 6 non-Jewish members of the Communist Party were shot in the courtyard of the local rural administration building. Their bodies were buried at the animal burial grounds one kilometer south of Kachkarovka. The perpetrators of this murder were members of the Feldgendarmerie and, apparently, also local auxiliary policemen.
