Murder Story of Zatishnoye Jews in Zlatoustovka

A small group of Jews from Zatishnoye were taken by truck to the vicinity of the village of Zlatoustovka, some five kilometers from Zatishnoye. They were then shot in a ravine in the vicinity of Zlatoustovka. Apparently, this killing action was carried out at about the same time as the shooting in the barn near Zatishnoye, although there are no direct references to it. According to some testimonies, the group consisted of nine people. In addition to that, some sources mention a Jewish family from Zatishnoye who had apparently remained in hiding in Zlatoustovka during the occupation. The family was shot shortly before the liberation of the village, probably at the same murder site, but no firm information about this has come to light.
