Melovaya Gora
The eighty Jews who remained alive after the mass murder operation of November 6 (apart from some specialists, who lived with their families in the small house near the prison) were concentrated in one house. Jews from the villages around Klimovichi were also placed in the house. At the end of November 1941, all these Jews were marched to Melovaya Gora, in the area of the town near the Lazhbanka River, and shot. Some Jews managed to run away, and survived. The place where the specialists were murdered remains unknown.

Klimovichi Jewish Cemetery
At the end of August 1941, thirteen Jews appointed by the Germans as the Jewish Council, which was headed by the former manager of the local fire brigade Rodin, were arrested. The hostages were taken from the prison to the Jewish cemetery, where they were forced to dig a pit. Twelve of them were stripped and shot by local policemen under German supervision; the last Jew, Chaim Ore Khazanov, was not shot since the murderers needed someone to carry the clothing of the murdered Jews to headquarter.

Dolgaya Dubrava
In the morning of November 6, 1941, young able-bodied men and women were sent to work. Later, the Germans, with the assistance of local policemen, concentrated the remaining Jews in a garage near the local hospital. There they robbed them, taking gold and other valuables. From the garage, the Jews were deported to the vicinity of the airport, not far from the village of Dolgaya Dubrava, where Germans and local policemen shot them in a pit that had existed from before the war. Later in the day, those Jews who had been sent to work in the morning were also taken to the pit and murdered. Altogether, between 750 and 900 Jews were shot that day. A number of Klimovichi tailors and shoemakers who had separated by the Germans, together with other local Jews who had managed to conceal themselves, avoided this murder operation. One woman even succeeded in running away from the garage, asking a middle-aged German guard to allow her to leave.

In April 1943, the Germans imprisoned all the children from mixed families, some of them together with their non-Jewish parents. On April 12, the children were shot, together with Roma, in Vydrinka, not far from the site where most of the non-Jews of Klimovichi were murdered.
