According to different sources, the murder operation against the Jews of Surazh took place either on March 13, or on March 27, 1942. The ghetto inmates were taken two kilometers along a snowy road southeast of the town toward the village Kislovka, where a large pit had been prepared in advance. The Jews were taken in groups of 20-30 to the edge of the pit and shot to death. Estimates of the number of victims varied from 560 to 700.
