Butik Tract

According to a ChGK report, on August 10, 1941 Jewish residents from Berezdov were ordered by the Germans to assemble and to take with them shovels and brooms on the pretext of their being taken to repair roads (and possibly to clean up the Slavuta railway station). After a selection was carried out at the collection point, 152 Jewish men were loaded onto several trucks and taken under guard outside the town, to the Butik tract located about one kilometer from the village of Dyakov. Upon their arrival at the site the men were made to dig a pit and then were shot to death with rifles and sub-machine guns by members of 1st SS Motorized Infantry Brigade, who also threw hand grenades at the wounded victims who were lying in the pit. After the shooting one Jewish man who had been kept alive was forced to cover the pit. In order to conceal the mass grave the Germans made the local Ukrainian residents level the ground over it and plant groundcover.

Mlynki Tract

Apparently at the end of the summer or early fall 1941 a group of Jews - mainly women, children, and old people -- was taken by truck to the Mlynki tract located between the villages of Kutki and Zubivshina, to the Korchik River bank. The Jews were made to dig a pit and were shot to death with sub-machine guns by a German murder squad.

Berezdov Jewish Cemetery

According to one testimony, apparently in the spring of 1942 several dozen Jews from the town were taken in groups, under German guard, to a pit that had been prepared near the Jewish cemetery. Upon their arrival at the site they were shot to death by a German murder squad.
