In August 1941, Germans brought several trucks of Jews from Starokonstantinov to the field near the cavalry barracks and, after humiliating them, took the sick and the elderly and shot them. The rest of the Jews were released back to the town. On May 20, 1942, the Jews were ordered to assemble in the town square near the power plant, from where they were taken to the field near the cavalry barracks. The rest were forced to undress and, after taking out the specialists, the Germans made the Jews run onto logs placed over the ditch. While running across the logs, they were shot.

In July 1941, an unknown number of Jews was brought to the Novogorodskiy Forest, near the Novogorodskiy kolkhoz, two kilometers from Starokonstantinov, to the right of the road to Shepetovka. There they were humiliated, and then killed. On August 3, 1941, 489 Jews (302 men and 187 women) were assembled by Germans and local policemen in the town square near the power plant. They were divided into two columns, men and women, and then led to the murder site, where they were shot in anti-tank ditches. The murder operation carried out by two companies of Battalions 1 and 2 of the SS infantry regiment 8, with the participation of Police Battalion 320. In August or on September 2, 1941 (according to German sources, at the end of September), 500-800 Jews were taken to the Novogorodskiy Forest by members of Police Battalion 304 and shot. In the morning of June 23, 1942, some 3,000-4,000 Jews (according to other sources, 6,500 Jews) – men, women and children – residents of the Starokonstantinov ghetto, including Jews from Gritsev, Ostropol and Staraya Sinyava, were rounded up near the town’s power station. Seven Jews were hanged for being partisans – arms were allegedly found in their homes. After separating a number of families of professionals, the Jews were transferred by the Sonderkommando, with the assistance of Ukrainian police, to the Novogorodskiy Forest, where they were undressed and shot. On November (or December) 29, 1942, 4,000 Jews (men, women and children) were taken to the same murder site and shot dead. The action was commanded by the local security police commander, Graff.
