The ChGK report from Tbilisskaya
On a night in August 1942, the Germans rounded up all the Jewish evacuees in the villages of Vannovka and Sheremetyevka, and shot them all in an anti-tank trench near the village of Vannovka.
Among the victims, there were many women, children, and elderly people. Their bodies were buried by local civilians in the same anti-tank trench, three days after the massacre.
