Murder story of Golovanevsk Jews in the Consumers' Cooperative Yard in Golovanevsk

In the month of February 1942 the second shooting of innocent Soviet civilians of Golovanevsk village was carried out in the yard of the consumers' cooperative. Twenty minutes prior to the shooting a police cordon was set up around the yard of the consumers' coop. Then the Golovanevsk police investigating officer Komlev delivered the arrestees to the previously determined place – a cold storage pit where police chief Korda and his deputy Katsayev were on guard. They forced the arrestees to kneel and shot them with sub-machineguns. Then they forced them down into the cold storage pit feet first.

This brutal, bloody mass shooting was supervised by police chief Korda, his deputy Katsayev, police investigation officer Komlev, and other policemen.
