Several hundred Jews succeeded in escaping the mass murder operation on December 2, 1941 by hiding in Glussk and the vicinity. At the beginning of 1942 500 Jews from the Glussk area who had been found in their hiding places were brought by Germans and local policemen to Kostyolski Val (a fortification built in the 19th century that was close to the town's cemetery) and were shot there. Later, another large group of Jews, consisting of at least 270 people, mainly women, children and old people, was shot there as well.

On December 2, 1941, in the morning, the Germans ordered all the Jews of Glusk to assemble on Sovetskaya Square to be registered. Some of those assembled were pushed into gas vans, others - numbering between 1,000 and 2,000 people (according to different sources) were taken on foot to a hilly area near Myslotino village several kilometers from the town of Glusk. There pits had been prepared. Groups of Jews were taken to the pits, placed in rows at the edges of the pits, and shot dead. The perpetrators of this massacre, which lasted two days, were apparently members of Einsatzkommando 8B and local auxiliary policemen.
