The Jews were forced to take off their clothes. The third murder operation of Yurovichi's Jews took place in early December 1941.

Pripyat River in Yurovichi
On November 18, 1941 30 Germans and 20 Belarusian policemen arrived in Yurovichi. One day later between 200 and 250 Jews of all ages were taken to the market square of Yurovichi. They were forced to march to the outskirts of the village and were shot dead on the bank of the Pripyat River (between the pier and Lake Grebnoye) by the 1st SS-Infantry Brigade, German gendarmerie members from Yurovichi, and local Belarusian policemen. The bodies of the victims were thrown into the river or were left for the wild animals. Only after almost a week were the remains buried in four common graves by Soviet Communist activists, who were forced to do so by the Germans.
