On August 21, 1941 the Gendarmerie (German rural order police) and the Ukrainian auxiliary police arrested several hundred Jewish men, along with some Jewish women, teenagers, and old people. They were collected, according to one testimony, at the Gebietskommissar's office. Although the Jewish council tried to obtain the release of those arrested - by offering a bribe - only a few were released. The rest were loaded onto trucks and taken approximately two kilometers outside of town, to the forest near Borki village. Upon their arrival at the killing site, they were shot to death in pits that had been dug beforehand by residents of Borki village.

On July 22, 1941, on the order of Gebietskommissar Uhde, several SS men (apparently), assisted by Ukrainian auxiliary pollicemen, rounded up several hundred Jewish men from their homes or on the street and collected them on the town's market square (or, according to one testimony, at the Gebietskommissar's headquarters). After a selection was carried out, most of the Jews were loaded onto covered trucks and taken under the guard of Ukrainian auxiliary policemen to the Jewish cemetery outside the town. Upon their arrival at the murder site, the Jews were taken in groups to a pit that had been prepared (according to one testimony by Ukrainian auxiliary police or, according to another, by the victims themselves), and shot there with machine-guns by members of the 1st Company of the 314th German Police Battalion. During the shooting Ukrainian policemen surrounded the killing site to prevent escapes. After the mass murder the bodies of the victims were covered over by the Ukrainian auxiliary policemen.

On October 1, 1942, early in the morning, Gendarmerie men(German rural order police), assisted by Luboml County Ukrainian policemen, headed by Sergei Kovalchuk, together with police units from Szack and Kowel, surrounded the ghetto. They drove its inmates (mainly women, children, and old people) onto the street and collected them on the town's market square. Afterwards the Jews were taken, on foot, under the guard of the Gernadarmerie and Ukrainian police, to the abandoned brick factory located several kilometers outside of town. Those who were too slow were killed on the way to the murder site. Upon their arrival at the site, the remaining Jews were made to strip naked and put their clothes into piles. Then they were forced in groups of 20 into pits that had been dug several months before. According to testimonies, the adults were shot to death in the head with machine-guns by Gendarmerie men, while the small children were thrown alive into the pit. Gebietskommissar Uhde, his deputy, and some other senior German officials were present during this murder operation. After the killing, the victims were covered with layers of sand, earth, and lime; some of them were still alive. According to testimonies, the earth was heaving for several days. The clothes of the Jews were taken to Luboml, where they were sold to the local population. This murder operation lasted about a week since a number of Jews initially escaped the murder operation or were in hiding and not found immediately.
