Murder Story of Pavlograd Jews at the Jewish cemetery

According to Soviet reports, at the end of December 1941-early January 1942 dozens of civilians of Pavlograd, of all ages and both sexes, all obviously Jewish, were taken by truck to the Jewish cemetery near the vehicle plant (today a machinery plant). The victims were cruelly abused before being murdered; then their bodies were thrown into a ditch. The massacres were perpetrated by Germans and local auxiliary policemen. The same location continued to be used as a murder site for local Jews during the whole period of the German occupation of Pavlograd.
