One day in July 1942, the Germans, assisted by the Ukrainian auxiliary police, surrounded the labor camp, and the auxiliary policemen escorted its remaining inmates (most of them women, children, and elderly individuals) to Lake Chernoye, about a kilometer southwest of the town. Upon reaching the killing site, the Jews were forced to strip naked. Apparently, they underwent a registration, and were then ordered to approach the pits (which had probably been dug by the Jews themselves, on German orders). They were then shot by the members of a German unit, who used either pistols or machine guns. Apart from Jews, former Soviet activists of Ukrainian or Russian origin, together with their families, were also shot at this site.
