According to a single testimony, on July 6 or 7, 1941, a group of Jews from Cepeleuți was shot in the Valeia-lui-Tǎnas Forest outside the town.
Alexey Bachila, who was born in 1915 in Cepeleuți and lived there during the war years, testified at the Soviet trial of Alexander Syrbu-Yeni, who was accused of collaborating with the German-Romanian occupation authorities:
… From my fellow townspeople, I learned that Syrbu-Yeni had taken part in the shooting of Jewish civilians … in the forest of Valia lui Tǎnas.
