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.
