According to one testimony, apparently in the fall of 1942, Ukrainian auxiliary policemen drove the Jews out of their houses and took them to a field on the outskirts of the village. Upon arriving at the murder site, one by one the Jews were forced into a pit that had been dug beforehand and were shot to death, probably by a member of the Gendarmerie (German rural order police). Residents of Zabrodzie were forced to cover the pit with earth.
