Murder story of Krugloye Jews in the Krugloye Area

In the fall of the same year, 1941, when the weather was already cold, and potato was harvested (it was impossible to identify the exact date) the young [Jewish] women and girls, around 50 in number, were taken to the shooting. They were prepared [sic] in a house on the street that leads to Orsha. It was a clear cold day with sharp wind. They were driven by trucks. There was a terrible scream as a Russian woman told us. I do know how people could learn about it but we were told that behind the village at the end of this village a pit was dug.. These women were take close to the pit. The women in order not to look into the eyes of the death embraced one another and covered their heads with shawls. Indeed, when their remains were exhumed for reburial in the mass grave, which will be mentioned below, many of the, laid embraced in pairs and their heads were covered with large shawls, inside the shawls there were their splintered scull bones.
