Murder Story of Svobodny Kirkil Jews at the Elbrus Brick Factory

During the period of the occupation of the settlement of Svoboda by the German–Fascist forces (we have been unable to identify the unit), sixty Soviet citizens were executed, including fourteen Soviet POWs and twenty women. As concluded, the German-Fascist monsters shot their victims, who totaled approximately sixty people, in the area of the "Elbrus" brick factory, which lies about two kilometers from the village. They were transported there in vehicles, forced to strip to their underwear, led to the pit in the early morning, and then killed with pistol shots to the neck.
