Goncharskiye Yarki
Ukraine (USSR)
In January 1942, the German military and the local police began to round up all the Jews of the Lypova Dolyna County. Among them, there was one Jewish family from Synivka, which consisted of four persons, including children.
The Jews were taken to the Goncharskiye Yarki ravine in the town of Gadyach, in the Poltava District. There, they were forced to strip naked, whereupon they were shot dead with machine guns. They were buried there, along with other Jews from the Synivka County and the town of Gadyach.
