The ChGK reports from Begoml
... After the occupation [of Begoml] all the Jews were collected in one place, from which they were loaded onto trucks and driven to Gotovo, to pits from which sand was taken to construct roads. There the Jews were shot to death on October 2, 1941. On that day 270 people were killed. There were 23 men, the rest were women and children. On November 27 they rounded up those Jews who had escaped the [mass] shooting: 4 Jews were shot by policemen.
