On August 26, 1942, those Jews (the majority) who had not attempted to flee en route to the railway station were ordered to march in columns toward the station. Upon reaching the site, they were loaded onto several freight cars and transported to the Poleska camp in the town of Sarny. On August 27-28, the Jews of Dąbrowica were taken from the Poleska camp, along with Jews from other localities in the Sarny County, and led to several pits that had been dug 1.5 kilometers northwest of the town of Sarny, at the edge of the forest, near the road leading to the village of Tutowicze. Upon arriving at the Tutowicze forest shooting site, the victims – men, women, children, and elderly people – were ordered to strip naked and empty their pockets into a specially prepared box. Then, in groups, they were forced into the pits. Men from the Security Police and SD squad from Równe (reinforced by German Police Battalion 323) would force the victims to lie in the pit in rows, face down, whereupon they would shoot the victims in the head with machine guns. The little children were thrown alive into a separate pit. In this way, up to several rows of bodies would be stacked in each mass grave. The pits were then covered with chlorinated lime, and earth was piled on top of them. Among the victims, there were some 100 Roma people, who died protesting that they were not Jews.
The Gebietskommissar of the Sarny County, Kameradschaftsfuhrer Huala, was in charge of this murder operation.

According to one testimony, on Monday, August 24, 1942, an order was issued by Huala, the Gebietskommissar (regional commissar) of Sarny, requiring all the ghetto inmates to assemble in the ghetto within 3 days, ostensibly for registration. On the night of August 25-26, the Ukrainian Auxiliary Police and the German Gendarmerie surrounded the ghetto, and no one was sent out to perform forced labor on the next day; several inmates committed suicide. On the day after that, early in the morning the Ukrainian police and the Gendarmerie herded the ghetto inmates into the square on Barmacka Street, next to the bathhouse near the ghetto gate. By 5 AM, the people had been assembled in this area. Several gendarmes, under the command of Gendarmerie chief Albert Schuhmacher, were registering those who had shown up (i.e., the number of family members) by consulting a list drawn up in advance. It was apparently at this point, according to one testimony, that the town mayor, Ivan Mariniuk (according to another testimony, it was Krekel, the deputy of the Gebietskommissar, who was acting through the Judenrat), calmed the assembled people down, saying that they would be taken to the Poleska camp, where a selection would be carried out; the able-bodied inmates would be sent to work, while the others would be taken back to the ghetto. Then, at about 7 AM, the people, in groups of 300-500, were taken on foot (elderly and sick individuals were transported in carts), under an armed convoy of Ukrainian policemen and German gendarmes, to the Poleska camp on the northern outskirts of Sarny, which was fenced off with rows of barbed wire. Upon arriving in the camp, the people found out that, on August 25-26, the Ukrainian auxiliary policemen and German Gendarmes had also driven the entire Jewish population of the Sarny County to the camp. These new arrivals (more than 5,000 people) swelled the total Jewish population of the Poleska camp to about 14,000. The inmates were kept in poor conditions, being denied food and water. The murder operation began at 2 PM on August 27, 1942. The Jews from the town of Rokitno had to go first, being ordered to supply 500 people, who were then led (in groups of 150) to four pits that had been dug, according to a testimony, by members of the Organization Todt. The pits lay 1.5 kilometers northwest of the town of Sarny, at the edge of a young forest near the road leading to the village of Tutowicze. Upon reaching the murder site, the victims – men, women, children, and elderly people – were forced to strip naked and empty their pockets into a specially prepared box. They were then ordered to climb down into the pits in groups. Members of the Security Police and SD squad from Równe forced the victims to lie in rows, face down, inside the pit, whereupon they would shoot them in the head with machine guns. The little children were thrown alive into a separate pit. In this way, several rows of bodies were piled in one mass grave. Afterward, each pit was covered with chlorinated lime and buried under a layer of soil. Among the victims, there were some 100 Roma people, who died protesting that they were not Jews. One testimony indicates that several Jews were kept alive during the massacre, and were then ordered to search for valuables in the victims' clothing. This done, they were annihilated, as well. Some of the perpetrators of this shooting were men from the German Police Battalion 323 (which was subordinated to Security Division 68). A unit from this battalion, under the command of Unterführer Willi Meyer, killed 1,400 people with machine guns in the course of two days. The Gebietskommissar of the Sarny County, Kameradschaftsfuhrer Huala, was in charge of this murder operation, which lasted for two days – August 27 and August 28, 1942.

On August 26, 1942, at about 3-4 AM, the town of Klesów was surrounded by the Ukrainian Auxiliary Police. The Germans ordered the ghetto inmates to assemble in the square near the town's railway station, on the pretext of a registration. After the registration, the Jews were ordered to hand over their valuables. The Ukrainian police (under the command of Vasiliy Kryzhanovskiy) and the German Gendarmerie (under the command of Karl Begermann) held the Jews in the square for about 12 hours. In the afternoon, at about 4 PM, the Jews – including women, children, and elderly people – were loaded onto a train that, according to a testimony, had just arrived from Rokitno, carrying other Jews. The train left Klesów under a heavy guard and took these 580 Jews to the Poleska camp in Sarny. On August 28, 1942, the Jews of Klesów were taken in groups from the Poleska camp to several pits that had been dug 1.5 kilometers northwest of the town of Sarny, at the edge of the forest near the road leading to the village of Tutowicze. Upon reaching the shooting site, the victims were forced to strip naked and empty their pockets into a specially prepared box. They were then forced into the pits in groups. Members of the Security Police and SD squad from Równe (which was reinforced with men of the German Police Battalion 323) would order the victims in the pit to lie face down in rows, whereupon they would shoot them in the head with machine guns. According to a testimony, Karl Begermann also took part in the shooting. Little children were thrown alive into a separate pit. In this way, several rows of bodies were stacked in each mass grave. Afterward, the pits were covered with chlorinated lime and buried with earth. According to a testimony, several Jews were kept alive during the massacre, and they were ordered to search for valuables in the victims' clothes afterward. This done, they were annihilated, as well. Among the victims killed at this site, there were some 100 Roma people, who died protesting that they were not Jews.
The Gebietskommissar of the Sarny County, Kameradschaftsfuhrer Huala, was in charge of this murder operation. Immediately after the deportation of the Jews of Klesów to Sarny, their homes were looted by Germans, Ukrainian auxiliary policemen, and certain employees of the Klesów local administration, who took the choicest items for themselves. The less valuable property was sold off to the residents of the town, and the proceeds from these sales were handed over to the Germans.

On August 26, 1942, Germans and Ukrainian auxiliary policemen drove the inmates of the Bereżnica Ghetto out of their houses and led them, most probably on foot, to the Poleska camp in Sarny. On August 27-28, the Jews of Bereżnica, along with Jews from other localities in the Sarny County, were taken from the Poleska camp to several pits that had been dug 1.5 kilometers northwest of the town of Sarny, at the edge of the forest, near the road leading to the village of Tutowicze. Upon reaching the Poleska camp forest shooting site, the victims – men, women, children, and elderly people – were ordered to strip naked and empty their pockets into a specially prepared box. Then, in groups, they were forced into the pits. Men of the Security Police and SD squad from Równe (reinforced by German Police Battalion 323) made the victims inside the pit lie in rows, facing down, whereupon they shot them in the back of the head with machine guns. Little children were thrown alive into a separate pit. In this way, several rows of bodies were eventually stacked in each pit. Afterward, the pits were covered with chlorinated lime and heaped with soil. There were some 100 Roma people among the victims, who died protesting that they were not Jews.
