Murder Story of Olshana Jews at the Olshana Cemetery

On September 11, 1941 four Jews, together with three Ukrainians, all of whom were apparently members of the Communist Party or Soviet government officials, were shot to death at the local cemetery near the brickworks, probably by members of Einsatzgruppe C and local auxiliary policemen. According to information gathered by the Lo Tishkakh foundation, in October 1941 about 100 Jewish men and boys of Olshana were shot at the same place, most probably also by members of Einsatzgruppe C and local auxiliary policemen.
