Konotop Jewish Cemetery
According to several sources, there were some spontaneous and arbitrary killings of Jews in Konotop. Two Jews were killed in late October 1941, and they may have been buried at the Jewish cemetery. The Germans and the Ukrainian Auxiliary Police claimed that these two were Communist Party functionaries. On November 1, a German Military Police unit arrested 153 Jews and took them to the Jewish Cemetery. They had to dig their own grave there, and were then shot dead.

Konotop Airfield
In November 1941, the German administration of Konotop ordered the local Jews to assemble at a certain point in the town, bringing their valuables along. The Ukrainian Auxiliary Police then escorted the Jews, who numbered about 1,000, to the local airfield. There, they were shot dead by a squad of the 1st SS Infantry Regiment.

Old Brick Factory in Konotop
On December 1, 1941, the Germans took ninety-five Jewish POWs, along with several non-Jewish POWs, to the old brick factory, where a pit had been dug in advance, and shot them there. Later, in early July 1942, the Germans and Ukrainian auxiliary policemen began to search for hidden Jews and political enemies, and any of these that they found would also be executed at the brick factory. On the night of July 2-3, 1942, the Germans executed 380 civilians, including a number of Jews, with machine guns. In March 1943, some additional shootings took place at the same location. According to Soviet reports, there were Jewish women and children among the victims.
