In May and June 1942, German soldiers and Ukrainian auxiliary policemen searched for Jews and Roma in the city of Sumy and the Sumy District. The arrestees were taken to the city prison, where they were held in inhuman conditions and subjected to torture.
One night, all of them were escorted from the prison to a pit in the area of the Frunze factory. There, the Germans shot them with machine guns.
