Many of the Jews of Belopolye managed to evacuate or flee eastward shortly before the occupation, and only thirty Jews remained in the town when the Germans arrived. These Jews, along with other victims of the Nazi regime, had to undergo a registration. The Jews, Communists, and other Soviet activists were forced to perform hard labor – e.g., cleaning the toilets and the local sewers, repairing the roads, and digging mass graves for those sentenced to death by the German military and the SS. Then, in early 1942, the Jews were relocated to a peat factory, where they had to work both day and night shifts in inhuman conditions. With their daily ration being limited to 100-150 grams of bread, they suffered from hunger.
In June 1942, the Germans transferred the twenty-four Jews who were still alive to Konotop and shot them there – probably at the brick factory, which also served as the killing site of other Jews from the Konotop region.
