On one day in early October 1942 Ukrainian auxiliary policemen and a Gendarmerie (German rural order police) unit surrounded the village. According to one testimony a group of Jews attempted to escape but most of them were killed while running from the ghetto toward the nearby forest. The rest of the Jews were rounded up, loaded onto trucks, and taken to the outskirts of the village, to the railway crossing at the Sienkiewiczówka railway station, where two large pits had been prepared. Upon their arrival at the site, the Jews were made to strip naked, forced to lie down inside the pit, and then shot to death in the back of the head by members of the Security Police and an SD murder squad.
