Murder Story of Chemerovtsy Jews at the Chemerovtsy Machine Tractor Station

One day in the late summer or early fall of 1941, Ukrainian auxiliary policemen took a number of Jews out of a group of 161, including women and children, to a pit near the machine tractor station, at a distance of some 300 meters from the town. There, they were shot dead by a German murder squad. According to one testimony, some people managed to escape the massacre, hiding for several days at a nearby fat-boiling site. The same testimony states that, after the murder operation, the victims were buried in a mass grave at the old Jewish cemetery in Chemerovtsy.
