VERKHNEDNEPROVSK DURING THE HOLOCAUST
"Verkhnedneprovsk was occupied by Jewish forces on August 17, 1943. Almost immediately after the start of the Occupation, the Jews were ordered to register [and] wear armbands and [were] taken to perform various types of exhausting work. [During the occupation*] the Jews of Verkhnedneprovsk and apparently also from its vicinity were [taken outside the town limits and] murdered..." Verkhnedneprovsk was liberated by the Red Army on October 22, 1943. *Yad Vashem states in this sentence that it was either 1941 or 1942, but a monument (images above) was later erected on the outskirts of time which reflects 1943 and Yad Vashem's website also has an old photo of the monument with a caption indicating that the massacre took place in 1943.
