According to the report of the Soviet Extraordinary Commission for the Investigation of Nazi Crimes, about 20 “Soviet citizens” (including probably both Jews and non-Jews), who were suspected of partisan activities, were shot on November 16, 1941, in a forest plantation near the town of Sakhnovshchina. This massacre seems to have been perpetrated by members of Sonderkommando 4b of Einsatzgruppe C.
