Those who were left alive after the first German operation – the Jews with special skills – and those Jews who hid but were later caught by the Germans were shot in the Nezhin prison on November 30, 1941 and in January 1942. At least 17 Jews were shot in the prison.
A group of at least 7 Jews was transported to the Nezhin prison from Bobrovitsa and killed there in 1942 by a German murder squad. One Jew from Bobrovitsa was shot in the prison in 1943.
