On November 4, 1941, the German administration announced that the Jews had to prepare for evacuation. Some 100 Jews gathered in the town center. They were led out of the town under a convoy of local policemen, and taken to a pit on the outskirts of Putivl. In 1942, the German military sent another mobile killing squad to the town. In their brutal anti-partisan campaign, the Germans murdered a total of about 3,300 civilians, including Jews.
