Murder Story of Glinsk Jews at the Animal Burial Ground in the Glinsk Area

In the first weeks after the occupation of Glinsk, the Ukrainian Auxiliary Police helped the Germans identify and locate the town's Jews. Following a mass hunt, the Jews were taken to the police headquarters and tortured. They were later led to the animal burial ground about 1.5 kilometers from the village. A pit had been dug there in advance, either by the victims or by the perpetrators. Sixteen Jews were shot dead there. Later, between February and April 1942, another massacre took place at this cattle burial ground. This time, the victims included Jews, non-Jewish civilians who were suspected of being Soviet partisans, and Soviet POWs.
