Sometime after the Jews of Slavuta town and Slavuta County were confined in the ghetto in early March 1942 many young Jewish children fell ill. The Germans, apparently fearing an epidemic, took about 300 children (including many infants) from their mothers and threw them into a well located near the entrance to the ghetto.
