In the fall of 1941, between August and September, German forces and auxiliary police took Jews from the ghetto to the southern part of the town, near the town’s forest. The Jews had to march in a column from the ghetto to a prepared pit on Shevchenka Street. The Germans also took wounded Soviet prisoners of war and Jewish refugees from the surrounding areas and from the western Ukraine. Possibly, because of a lack of room, the victims had to dig another pit near Shevshenka Street on Suvorov Lane, approximately 500 meters from the first pit. Some were shot in groups, others separately. The Germans used the sound of tractor engines to muffle the voices of their victims. Altogether about 2,000 people were shot to the death.

At the end of July members of Sonderkommando 4a took 40 Jews of Korostyshev to the local German headquarters and shot them to death there. The Germans did so after accusing the Jews of espionage and sabotage, as well as of contact with the partisans.
On September 20, 1941 German death squads killed an additional 60 Jews. They were also taken to the German headquarter and shot to death. As earlier, the Jews were accused by the German authorities of having contacts with the partisans.
