In January 1942, during the first days of the German occupation of Kamenka, Germans gathered 61 Kamenka Jews on the outskirts of the village and told them that they were going to take a bath outside the village and, therefore, should bring with them a change of clothes. The Jews were taken by truck to the Chubarov farmstead, about 500 meters northwest of Kamenka, forced to undress, and shot to death together with the Jews from Yudendorf village by an SD detachment. Their bodies were thrown into a well there.

On December 26 (25, according to some testimonies) the Jews of Kamenka, together with Jewish inhabitants of other Jewish colonies in the area who were all in the labor camp of Avdotiyevka, were marched out of the camp. They were told they were going to be moved to the village of Lyubimovka to construct another section of a road. When the column arrived at the small bridge close to the camp, the Latvian camp guards started to shoot people. The number of victims of this massacre is not known.

In early 1943 the inmates of the Avdotyevka camp, including a number of Kamenka Jews who had survived the massacre of late December 1942, were taken to the Lyubimovka labor camp. Many of them died from the inhuman conditions or hard labor or were shot at the silage pit in the middle of the camp. The handful of surviving Kamenka Jews who were inmates of the Lyubimovka camp were shot in March 1943 at the same silage pit when the camp was liquidated. The killing was carried out by Germans and Ukrainian and Latvian auxiliaries.

The remaing handful of inmates of the Lyubimovka camp, apparently including Jews from Novo-Zhitomir, were shot in March 1943 at the same silage pit when the camp was liquidated.
