Krasnyy Pozhar Collective Farm

Some, but not all of the local mass shootings took place on the territory of the Krasniy Pozhar Collective Farm in Berezna. On September 9, 1941 Sonderkommando 7b arrived in Berezna from Gomel. In one of their operations, on October 9, 1941 they shot 8 Jews in the Berezna area. On October 15, 1941 at least 2 Jews were shot in the Berezna area by a German murder squad. On October 21, 1941 at least 4 Jews were shot on a plot of land belonging to the Krasniy Pozhar Collective Farm by a German murder squad. The next shooting was carried out in the same place on November 5, 1941, when 10 Berezna Jews were shot by a German murder squad. The last mass shooting carried out by a German murder squad took place on March 12, 1943, when at least 4 Jews from Berezna were shot by Germans, probably on a plot of land belonging to the Collective Farm. During these operations some Jews were buried while still alive. Ukrainian police apparently assisted the Germans in these mass murders.
