On July 5, 1941 150 Jewish men were taken from their homes, apparently by members of the German Police Battalion "South" and Ukrainian auxiliary policemen, to the city prison. There, in the prison yard, they were brutally beaten and thrown, some of them still alive, into pits that had been prepared ahead of time. On August 29-30, 1941 another roundup of Jewish men (and several Jewish women) was carried out in the city; the victims were taken to the city prison and murdered at this location. The head of the Judenrat named Weiler was one of the victims. The next month, on September 29, on the eve of Yom Kippur about 1,000 Jewish men were arrested in their houses or on the street and taken to the prison. The same night several hundred of them [Jews] met their death in the prison, either being beaten to death or severely wounded and thrown into pits. The next morning the rest were taken to work and afterward released to their homes. In September 1942, after the first mass murder operation, some of the Jews who had been caught in hiding were taken to the city prison and put to death there. In November, during the second mass murder operation, many of the Jews who did not have work certificates were killed in the prison. From that time the Germans repeatedly scoured the ghetto; about several hundred escapees who had tried to enter the ghetto illegally were murdered in the city prison.

On December 13, 1943, an SD unit and members of the auxiliary police stormed the ghetto-camp. The Jews, including the head of the Judenrat Leib Kudisz, along with his family members, were taken to the local prison. Several days later the Jews were forced to strip and to hand over all their valuables to the Germans. Then the victims were loaded onto trucks and driven to a small wooded area near the village of Falemicze, east of Włodzimierz Wołyński. Upon arriving at the murder site, the Jews were shot to death with sub-machine guns, apparently by members of Sonderkommando 4b. According to one testimony, during the murder SS men surrounded the killing site. The bodies were then burned. It is believed that as many as 1,200 Jews were killed in this murder operation.
