In late August or early September 1942 the ghetto of Maciejów was surrounded by the Gendarmerie (German rural order police) and Ukrainian auxiliary policemen. Some inmates of the ghetto had gone into hiding several days beforehand since a rumor had spread about an impending murder operation; most of them were subsequently found. The remaining Jews, mainly women, children, and elderly people, were collected at the school building and then taken outside the town and shot to death at the lime quarry by a detachment of Security Police and members of the SD from Łuck and of the Gendarmerie (German rural order police).
