At noon on September 11, 1942, shortly after the onset of the Nazi occupation of the village of Novoosetinovskaya, German soldiers and local policemen arrested eleven Jewish civilians and took them to the local cemetery. The victims were ordered to climb down into a trench that had been dug for them. They were forced to lie down, whereupon the Germans shot them dead with machine guns.

I am informing you that, during the temporary occupation of our village, the German–Fascist occupiers and their accomplices bestially slaughtered the Soviet citizens of Jewish nationality.

Shternberg and his wife Busya; Tsinkler, his wife Frosya, [his] daughter Rosa, [his] daughter Sima, and [his] son Yura; Kuptsen, his two sons, and his wife.
