The Jewish survivors of the first massacre – mostly women, children, and elderly people – were apparently murdered in April 1942, although some testimonies date the second murder operation to May or early June 1942. The Jews were taken from the ghetto to the shooting site in the forest near the village of Andrushevka, with the sick and the elderly being transported in carts. They were shot there. According to some sources, the mothers were first ordered to put their children in the pit, stacking them one atop the other, and then to lie down on top of them. The total number of victims is estimated at over 250.
