Murder Story of Andrushevka Jews in the Lysaya Gora Ravine

After the outbreak of war, we lived at home for another two months. The shooting in Andrushevka took place on August 19, [1941]. We lived two kilometers from Andrushevka.… They [the Germans] somehow took us, and then, on August 19, at the time of the first shooting, they came from the county [center] and took my grandfather and my father's brother. My grandfather had been suffering from pain in his legs; it was an awful scene when… that policeman, who spoke with a West Ukrainian accent, mistreated and abused my grandfather all the way to the county center. The grandfather fell down, and his son could not help him stand up. All the Jews were assembled and taken to a spot not far from the church. They [the Germans] rounded up the men, and on the same day they also [took] several girls, young people – and my aunt, too. She was a widow…. They took her (she was my father's sister) and her four daughters. She lived not far from the site of the shooting, on the hill. Those were Jews from Andrushevka, and only my grandfather and my father's brother were from our village.… [The group included] my two paternal uncles and others, five-eight people in total. They were taken in the evening and shot. It was in Andrushevka, and the place is called Lysaya Gora; the Jews were shot in a pit there. I do not know the number of victims, but there were a lot of them. There were many people in Andrushevka.
