Murder Story of Nezlobnaya Jews at the Oil Production Plant in Nezlobnaya

Murder Site
Oil Production Plant in Nezlobnaya
Russia (USSR)
As soon as the village of Nezlobnaya came under occupation, the German military began to hunt for Jews. In the first days of August 1942, 351 civilians were taken to an oil production plant, which stood approximately one kilometer from the village. There was an anti-tank trench there. The civilians, many of whom were Jewish evacuees, had to strip to their underwear, and were then shot. Any victim who was not hit by the bullets, or was merely wounded, would be kicked into the pit. Afterward, the perpetrators covered the anti-tank trench with soil.
