These tragic events which took place during 1918-1919 in Guba city where there were mass killings of Mountain Jews committed by Armenian bandits. According to the witnesses and some documents, together with Azerbaijanis more than 3000 Jews were killed.
 

They only identified 87 names. Each year on March 31st, on the day of Azerbaijanis' genocide of 1918-1919, special requiem prayers for 87 killed Jewish children, women and men are being read in the synagogues.
