Murder Story of Kitaygorod Jews in Polevoye
Murder Site
Polevoye
Ukraine (USSR)
In late October 1941 an unknown number of Jews of Kitaygorod were sent to the county seat Dashev. There they were murdered on October 28 (or in October-November, according to some Soviet reports), together with local Jews, in anti-tank trenches in Polevoye village next to Dashev by members of Einsatzkommando 5 of Einsatzgruppe C and by auxiliary policemen.
In early 1942 another group of Kitaygorod Jews was taken to Dashev and murdered, apparently also at Polevoye, by German rural and local auxiliary policemen.
According to the testimony of one non-Jewish resident of Kitaygorod a total of 180 Jews of all ages and both sexes were taken to and killed in Dashev.
