After the German occupation of the village, rumors spread about the murder of some Jews. Those rumors were confirmed at a council meeting of the village. The non-Jewish residents were warned against hiding Jews: It was made clear that if a person hid a Jew he, along with his family, could expect to be executed by the occupation authorities. During the night of September 14, 1942, Jews who had sought refuge in Urozhaynoye were taken to a bridge south of the village. There, under the supervision of German authorities, local policemen shot to death 30 Jews.
