Video: 'That day in Lubny'

(Thursday, October 16, 1941; during The Holocaust and Operation Barbarossa on the Eastern Front of World War II) — 1,900 Jews, including women and children, were massacred today by German Einsatzgruppen on the outskirts of Lubny in Nazi-occupied Ukraine.

The Jewish population of Lubny and neighboring towns had been ordered to report for relocation. The Jews who obeyed the order were taken to an antitank trench outside the town and shot.

The action, all the way until the execution, was thoroughly documented by photographer Johannes Hähle.
