Clay Pit in Glinishe

On a certain day in September 1942, the Germans rounded up 161 Jewish people.
After being subjected to abuse and beatings, the Jews were taken to a clay pit in the village of Glinishche, where they had to strip naked. They were then ordered to line up, and the German soldiers proceeded to shoot them with machine guns.
The pit was subsequently covered with soil, to cover the traces of the German atrocities.

The ChGK report from Bezopasnoye
In September 1942, the German butchers rounded up 161 Jewish citizens in the vicinity of the village of Bezopasnoye. They proceeded to torture the victims, turning a deaf ear to the screams and cries of the women and children. The victims were then forced to strip naked, and the killers methodically executed them with machine guns.
The bodies were thrown into a large pit, which was later covered with a thin layer of soil.
