After occupying Berezovka, the Germans ordered the local Jews to wear yellow Stars of David on their chests. Then, on January 30, 1942, Ukrainian collaborators from the villages of Talalayevka and Slobodka arrived in Berezovka to look for Jews. They arrested four Jewish civilians and took them to a cattle burial ground outside the village. The Jews were ordered to dig a pit there, and were then shot dead by local policemen.
