On October 19, 1941 the Mogilev ghetto was cordoned off by members of Einsatzkommando 8B, and members of the 316th Order Police Battalion of the "Waldenburg" police unit, of a Nazi transport corps, and by Ukrainian auxiliary policemen. The Jews were driven out of their homes and taken to the Dimitrov factory on the outskirts of the city. The men were separated from the women and children and all of them spent the night there. The following morning the Jews were driven to anti-tank trenches near a forest park in the vicinity of Kazimirovka village northwest of Mogilev. On their way to the execution location the Jews were ordered to undress. At the murder site the Jews were ordered to lie face down in the ditch and were then shot by members of the 316th Police Battalion and Einsatzkommando 8B and by Ukrainian auxiliaries. The latter mainly shot children. According to various German sources, the total number of victims of this massacre was between 1,000 and 4,000.

On October 2, 1941 members of the 322nd Order Police Battalion of Einsatzkommando 8b; of the staff of the Supreme Chief of Security Police and SD "Central Russia" and Ukrainian policemen operating at the time in Belarus, surrounded the ghetto of Mogilev. More than 2,000 Jews of all ages and both sexes were driven out of their houses. Those who did not move fast enough were severely beaten by Germans and Ukrainians. 65 Jews were shot on the spot, the rest were taken to the Dimitrov factory on the western outskirts of the city, where they were held overnight. The next morning the Jews were loaded in groups onto trucks and driven to the anti-tank ditches that had been dug at the Jewish cemetery, situated between the villages of Kazimirovka and Novo-Pashkovo, 12 kilometers northwest of Mogilev. There the victims were ordered to lie face down and then were shot by members of the 1st and 3rd Companies of the 322nd German Order Police Battalion (which were later reorganized as the 7th and 9th Companies of the 3rd Order Police Battalion of Police Regiment "Center") and by Ukrainian auxiliaries. The latter mainly shot the children, including infants; some of the children were thrown into the ditches alive. This terrible brutality disgusted even some of the German killers. According to the diary of the 322nd Police Battalion, 2,008 (according to another page of the diary - 2,208) Jews were killed in this mass murder.
