Meat Processing Factory in Cherkassy
Ukraine (USSR)
In late 1941 several thousand Jews of all ages and both sexes who had been incarcerated in the ghetto in Cherkassy's Mytnitsa neighborhood were taken out of the ghetto in a southerly direction along the Smela road. After about 3 kilometers the victims were halted and shot to death, near the meat-processing factory, by members of Einsatzkommando 5 of Einsatzgruppe C.

…In 1941, immediately after the capture of the city of Cherkassy by the German occupiers, three [Communist] Party members were hanged…After some time, all of the Jews living in the city were moved downtown, [to] the Mytnitsa [neighborhood]. After they had been living in the downtown area for some time, all of them were taken out of the city toward Smela and were abused and then shot.
