Apparently in the late September or early October 1942, the members of the Judenrat were shot to death by the Germans for allegedly failing to fulfill the German demand to collect gold and valuable items from the ghetto. The victims were killed at the Volkovnya tract located near the bank of the Styr River. Most probably in October, on the order of Shlitter, the commandant of the town of Boremel, the last Jewish inmates of the ghetto, numbering about 700, were taken by truck, guarded by Ukrainian auxiliary police and Gendarmerie (German rural order police) to the same murder site. Upon their arrival, the Jews had to strip naked and were then shot to death by Gendarmerie men (or according to the ChGK document, Gestapo men) with machine-guns. The ChGK report also states that during the murder operation the little children were buried alive, along with their murdered mothers.
