Soon after the beginning of the occupation the 20 Jewish men remaining in Klimovo were collected and taken to the forest near the town. There they were shot, together with some Communists. According to other sources the shooting was carried out in late September 1941.

Peat Bog near Klimovo

In February 1942 the Jews from Klimovo who were still alive - women, children, and old people - were collected in the building behind the railway station. There they were made to strip to their underwear and taken to a peat bog, where local policemen and Germans shot them with sub-machineguns. According to some sources, Jews from Churovichi and Gypsies were also shot at that site. The total number of Jews shot is estimated at 400.
