The ChGK report from Tbilisskaya
Most of the Jews had arrived in the county prior to its occupation, and they lived in the villages of Tbilisskaya, Vannoivskaya, and Sheremetyevka, and at the Severno farm. They were evacuees from Belarus and Ukraine.
In the first days of the occupation of the county, German officers and soldiers arrested the terrified Jews, regardless of age and sex, and threw them all into the Kuban River. This resulted in the deaths of many women, children, and elderly individuals.
