The first mass shooting of the Jews of Dobrush took place on November 21, 1941. For several days prior to the murder operation, the barracks in which the Jews were held were guarded by the local police. On the day of the massacre, the victims were taken to the MTS barn, and from there to the shooting site, which seems to have been located next to the barn. There, the victims were joined by 19 non-Jews, local Communists who had been imprisoned in the town for several days. The Communists were shot first, followed by the Jews. According to some testimonies, the children were stabbed and then thrown into the grave pit. The women were forced to strip naked and searched for valuables. The shooting was carried out by local auxiliary policemen and the Germans.
