Shortly after the occupation of Vcherayshe, about a dozen Jewish men were forced to dig mass graves for local Communists and Soviet activists. Upon the completion of this task, the Jewish diggers were shot, as well. According to German reports, the shooting took place in late July-mid August 1941. Although the murder site cannot be identified with any precision, the victims were apparently shot in the area of Vcherayshe. According to some testimonies, the last few Jews who had remained alive after the two major shootings of May and July 1942 were murdered either in August-September 1943 or on October 29, 1943. Prior to the shooting, the Jews were arrested and held in the local prison. Their exact number remains unknown.
