On August 8, 1942 about 90 inmates of Komsomolskoye ghetto, mostly those brought from surrounding villages, were taken to a ravine on the territory of the Peremoga (Victory) collective farm, just west of Komsomolskoye near the road leading to Volchinets village. There the victims were forced to strip naked and to lie down in the pit; then they were shot dead in the back of the head. The perpetrators of this massacre were German rural and local auxiliary policemen.

On December 13, 1942 German rural policemen who came from the town of Kalinovka, the seat of the county bordering on Komsomolskoye County on the south, and local auxiliary policemen surrounded the Komsomolskoye ghetto, where only about 10 skilled workers remained. These workers were called out of the building where they were living, supposedly for a roll-call. When they realized that they were going to be shot, they tried to escape. Very few of them succeeded. Several were shot while they were running; the rest were caught, brutally abused, and then shot in a field near the Komsomolskoye maternity hospital on the outskirts of town.
