Murder Site
Collective Farm Yard in Dmitrovka
Ukraine (USSR)
In October 1941, shortly after the village of Dmitrovka had been occupied by the Germans, the occupiers rounded up several dozen Jews from the surrounding area and herded them into a barn at the collective farm in Dmitrovka. After subjecting the Jews to various forms of physical and sexual abuse and forcing them to perform construction work, the Germans shot them on the spot. Both the exact date of the shooting and the identity of its perpetrators are unknown.

Guards Captain Renzit and Lt. Colonel Vasilyev, deputy commander of the 53rd Motorized Rifle Brigade, reported to the chief of the political department of the 5th Guards Tank Army, Colonel Sharov:
…At the time of the occupation of the village [of Dmitrovka], in the course of 3-4 days the Germans rounded up the entire Jewish population of the surrounding villages, herded them into a barn in the courtyard of the collective farm, beat and abused them, and forced them to perform grueling construction work on a daily basis. Several days later, they shot all of them to a man, including the small children. The girls were gang-raped by the soldiers. The sounds of hysterical crying and weeping filled the air. A total of at least 40 Jews were shot.
