Murder story of Labinskaya Jews in the Labinskaya Area

The Germans occupied the village of Labinskaya on August 7, 1942. Two days later, an order telling everyone to show up for work was posted at the station. This order also instructed individuals of Jewish origin to wear a six-pointed star made of white cloth on their chests. They were told to show up at the school building with enough food for three days. Once the Jews were assembled, they were loaded onto trucks in groups of 40-50. They were then taken outside the village and liquidated by shooting. In this way, some 300 Jews were liquidated. The shootings of the Jews were carried out by the Germans. They began at 6 AM, and lasted into the afternoon. The unfortunate ones were put in rows and shot in the face with submachine guns. I witnessed the shootings of innocent women, children, and elderly people. The first shooting of the Jewish residents was carried out on August 29, and the second one took place in September 1942.
