On July 31, 1941 a Security Police and SD unit from Równe arrived in Alexandria. Its members, assisted by the Ukrainian auxiliary police, caught Jewish males (along with some pro-Soviet activists) on the streets and at the workplaces. After being caught, 85 Jewish men were loaded onto trucks and taken to the bank of Horyn River. Upon their arrival to the shooting site, the victims had to get off from the trucks and were shot by a squad of the Security Police and SD from Równe. According to a testimony, after the mass shooting of Aleksandria's Jews in Svyattya Forest on September 23, 1942, Germans together with Ukrainian auxiliary police combed the town and its vicinity for hiding Jews. About 100 Jews who had been caught were taken to the bank of the Horyn River and shot there by a German unit.
