The Koriukivka massacre was a war crime against 6,700 residents[2][3] of Koriukivka (then a village of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic) on 1–2 March 1943 by the SS forces of Nazi Germany and the Royal Hungarian Army. 1,290 houses in Koriukivka were burned down and only ten brick buildings and a church survived.[4] The residents of neighboring localities were intimidated and refused to help the Koriukivka residents.[4] On 9 March, the Germans returned to Koriukivka and burned alive some elderly people who had returned to the village after escaping thinking it was safe.[5]
According to forensic evidence, the deaths were brought on particularly by shootings from automatic weapons such as submachine guns and light machine guns also blows with blunt objects and burning. Some people were burned alive.[6] The mass murder was committed as a retribution for Soviet partisan activities headed by Oleksiy Fedorov.[3] Koriukivka was liberated by Soviet troops on 19 March 1943. A report on the number of victims and inflicted damage was compiled in the same year. The Koriukivka massacre was the largest German punitive operation against civilians in World War II.[6]
