In early 1942 (according to another source, in October-November 1941) the Germans started to search for the remaining Jews in and around Gomel. The Germans found 80 (according another source - 67) Jews and took them to a Gomel farmstead near a lake. The Jews were held in three houses, which the local mayor ordered to be guarded. After about one month 10 Germans and some Belarusian policemen returned back. They took the Jews to a nearby ditch and immediately shot them all. The Germans left and the bodies were buried by members of a kolkhoz.

In October 1941 Germans forced 18 Jews out of their houses. The Jews were taken about a kilometer out of Gomel, 500 meters from the village of Svyatitsa, and were forced to dig a large pit. They were then shot dead by the Germans and their bodies thrown into the pit. One Jew was left alive to bury the dead. Then he was forced to dig a grave for himself, after which he too was murdered.
