Murder story of Lipovenkoye Jews at the Lipovenkoye Stables

In January 1942 15 policemen arrived [at Lipovenkoye] from Golovanevsk. Led by a German gendarme and collaborators – the police chief Kord, his deputy Katsayev, a police investigator, and the German district doctor, a German named Sholl, they entered the orphanage. There they put 36 children into one building on the pretext of taking them for a sleigh ride. Then the children were loaded onto a sleigh that had been brought to the building and then they were taken to a shooting site located in the area of the orphanage, near a stable. There was a pit there that had been prepared in advance. The children were stripped naked next to it, forced to kneel down in front of the pit, and were then shot. During the shooting of the children some of them were severely wounded but were thrown into the pit together with the ones who had been killed. In addition the fascist invaders and their collaborators killed two dogs at the time of the shooting. The dogs were thrown into the pit along with those murdered and the severely wounded children. After that they were all covered with manure and earth.
