Yel'sk Massacre, summer 1941

In Summer 1941, during Operation Barbarossa, German soldiers captured Yel'sk, Belarus. 

The Germans had arrived with about 12 trucks and had "God is with us" on their belts. The Jews from the closeby town of Skorodnoye had been brought with them, and were to be executed here.

The Germans did not shoot the Jews, but instead placed them inside a wooden slaughterhouse building, which was burned. About 1,000 people in total died.

The perpetrators were likely members of the SS, as they had SS symbols embedded on them.
