On October 25, 1941 a German unit from Dribin arrived in Chernevka. An order was given to dig a large ditch next to the Russian Orthodox cemetery, about 100 meters from the road, at a place called in Yiddish Rukrenitse. A day later all the Jewish women and children were taken to the ditch, where they were shot. Soviet sources estimated the number of victims at 600.
