According to a ChGK testimony, apparently in August 1941, a Romanian unit arrived in the town and began arresting Jewish residents living on the Kishinevskaya (Kishinev or Chişinǎu) Street. After a group of several dozen Jewish residents, including elderly people, women, and children, had been collected, they were taken to the end of the street, behind the house of a resident of Bǎlți named Sergian, where they were shot to death and buried.
