Shlyakhom Lenina Collective Farm

According to testimonies of survivors, very soon after the start of the occupation of Zhabokrich by German and Romanian troops, around July 20, 1941 about 10-15 Jewish men were rounded up and locked into a barn on the Collective Farm Shlyakhom Lenina, together with Soviet prisoners of war. After being held for a day or two in the barn, all of them were shot at a pit that before the war was used to store potatoes. The perpetrators of this massacre were Romanian soldiers or policemen. According to other versions, the victims were shot in a cellar on the kolkhoz grounds or inside the barn where they had been locked up.
