On November 7, 1941 700 Jews, inmates of Korma's two ghettos, were assembled at the local school. The Jews were beaten and forced to hand over their valuables. Then they were taken to a ravine near the local dairy, where they were forced to undress and then were shot to death.

The ChGK report from Korma
In August 1941, after they occupied Korma County, the Germans forced all the Jews of the town of Korma into a [concentration] camp. They tormented those incarcerated in the camp with hunger and used them for heavy labor. The camp was very overcrowded and lacked elementary hygienic conditions. All this led to a high rate of mortality among the inmates. The camp held more than 700 Jews - men, women, and children. Some of them died in the camp, the rest were shot to death by the Germans.
