In April 1943, the Germans imprisoned all the children from mixed families, some of them together with their non-Jewish parents. On April 12, the children were shot, together with Roma, in Vydrinka, not far from the site where most of the non-Jews of Klimovichi were murdered.

Account by M. Tsunts sent to the West by the Soviet Information Bureau regarding the murder of Jews in Klimovichi:
... Having finished with the pure Jews, the Germans started ridding themselves of the mixed ones. The Gestapo found out that the sanitation center manager Bobrov had a Jewish wife. She was immediately arrested and shot, together with her four children, aged 2-8. Then they learned that the wife of the Red Army Jewish combatant Naimerg – Polina Stolmakova – was a resident of Klimovichi. The next day, her body and that of her four-year-old son Marat were discovered.
