[[Mariupol]] was captured by [[Nazi]] forces on October 8, 1941. On October 18 (according to other sources, 16), 1941, most of the [[Jews]] of Mariupol were executed by members of the Sonderkommando 10a, part of the [[Einsatzgruppe D]] unit, under the command of Heinz Seetzen. At first, the Jews were ordered to gather at a certain place in Maruipol, from where they were taken to the barracks on the outskirts of the city and held for a number of days. They were then taken to anti-tank trenches 7-10 kilometers from the city, near the Agrobaza (agricultural station) of the Perovsky sovkhoz. There they were forced to undress and sit on the edge of the trenches, where they were shot with machine guns. According to the sources, the number of victims ranged between 8,000 and (the apparently exaggerated number of) 20,000. Later, Jewish [[women]] married to non-Jewish [[men]] were killed at the same site, together with their [[children]].<ref>[https://collections.yadvashem.org/en/untold-stories/killing-site/14626459 Murder Story of Mariupol Jews at the Agrobaza in Mariupol].
