Murder Story of Uchastok 33 Jews at an Abandoned Well in Uchastok 33

…4 Jewish families were living in our village: the family of Chaya Peremuter [sic, apparently Perelmuter]- Chaya herself [and] her three children age 9 to 15; the Savranskiy family- the wife and the two children age 3 to 9; the Ushonskiy family- Ushonskiy himself, his wife, the two children age 12 to 16, and his [Ushonskiy's] adult sister ; the Rozenberg family - the wife, his [the husband's] mother - aged 55, the two children age 17 and 19, and his [Rozenberg's] married daughter; and a single woman named Shnayder [?] . At the end of September 1941 4 German military personnel arrived in our village in 2 passenger cars. The Germans came to find the head of the rural administration of 33rd Village, an ethnic German named Yakov Yakovlevich Baer. Through his efforts all the village's Jews were collected at Baer's house. From there they were taken outside the village and shot at an old abandoned well, their bodies were thrown into the 12-15- meter deep well. I did not see the shooting, but I heard the shots. There were single shots.

On September 25, 1941 16 innocent Jewish civilians, men, women, elderly people, and children, were shot in 33rd Village (the Kaganovich kolkhoz in the Novokairy Rural Council, Berislav County). Their bodies were thrown into a well.
