In October 1941 a large group of Jews from Chernigov was arrested and taken to a quarry at Brick Factory No. 2 on Shevchenko Street. From there they were taken under guard to the murder site in Roshevshchina. The murder was carried out by Germans with the help of local Ukrainian policemen. That site, also known as Yaroshevshchina or Roshevshchina, was located in a garden near 130 Shevchenko Street. Jews were systematically arrested and shot at this location at different times during the occupation. However the figure of 4,000 Jewish victims, given in one testimony, is inflated.
