Kupishche/Doroshichi Area
During 1942 a group of Hungarian Jews was taken to Korosten County by Hungarian army units. The Jews were held in the vicinity of the villages of Doroshiche and Kupishche. On April 29-30, 1943 (according to some testimonies, in the summer of 1942), the surviving Hungarian Jews were forced into a stable located between the villages of Kupishche and Doroshichi. Then the stable, which was surrounded by Hungarian solders, was set on fire. Those victims who tried to jump out of the stable windows were shot on the spot. Local residents were not allowed to approach the site. During this murder operation between 300 and 800 Hungarian Jews were either burned alive or shot to death.
