During the German occupation [I] worked in the above-mentioned kolkhoz. I know about the bestial, vile deeds [committed] at the beginning of September 1942. The German monsters shot [to death] and tortured 6 innocent Jewish women whose identity I do not know. I was at home when the shooting took place. When I heard the shots, I went to the stable and heard the last two women being taken [to be murdered]. The shooting took place at the clay pit 200 meters from the stable at 10 o’clock at night. I cannot tell you anything more.
