In mid-September (in October, according to testimonies of local perpetrators), 1941 the Jews of Ivankov were ordered to gather in one place in the town, supposedly to be transported to Palestine. On September 19, 1941 between about 170 (according to a German report) and 250 (according to testimonies of former auxiliary policemen) Jews of Ivankov of all ages and both sexes were collected in the courtyard of the building of the forestry office (or road construction office, according to one testimony). From there they were taken, some on foot and some by truck, several kilometers west of Ivankov to the place known as the Berezina Maslyakova Tract, on the right side of the road leading to the town of Rozvazhev, near the village of Zaprudka. There the victims were forced to strip and taken, one by one, to the edge of a pit that had been dug in advance and then they were shot in the back of the head. The perpetrators of this massacre were members of a detachment of Sonderkommando 4a of Einsatzgruppe C, assisted by local auxiliary policemen.

Starting in early 1942, groups of Jews or individual Jewish families from the counties adjacent to Ivankov County were taken to Ivankov and, then, about half a kilometer southeast of the town, along the road leading to Kiev, and shot at a pit in a pine grove to the right of the bridge over the Teterev River. The perpetrators of these murders were apparently members of the German rural police of Ivankov, who were assisted by local auxiliary policemen.
