Murder story of Pyatigory Jews in the Pyatigory Area

According to some testimonies, in August 1941 about two dozen male Jews of Pyatigory were collected at the former school building, ostensibly for a meeting, and from there were taken to the town's outskirts, to a field (that is near the present Gagarin Street in Pyatigory) and were shot to death. The perpetrators of this massacre were most likely members of Einsatzgruppe C. A different version of the murder operation was presented by the inscription placed at the murder site in the 2000s. According to this information, the massacre took place on November 15, 1942, on the same day that other Jews of Pyatigory were murdered at the Piatigory machine-tractor station.
