On November 19, 1941 (according to one testimony and the inscription on the monument to the Holocaust victims of Chernobyl), about 400 to 500 Jews from Chernobyl of all ages and both sexes were taken to the Jewish cemetery on the outskirts of Chernobyl and shot dead by members of Einsatzgruppe C, who were assisted by local auxiliary policemen. The same place also served as the murder site for Jews who were hiding in villages and forests surrounding Chernobyl but were eventually caught. Thus, in the fall or winter of 1941, a group of about twenty Jews was murdered at the same place, apparently also by members of Einsatzgruppe C and local auxiliaries.
