Semyon Shum, who was born in 1910 and lived in Korosten during the war years, testified:
The German occupiers began to carry out the shooting of Soviet civilians who were Jewish in origin. I believe that 6,000-7,000 Jews were shot. They were mostly shot in the southern part of the town, at the forest nursery and near the Moglinskiy pit. I heard from the police commandant who used to live next to me that about 150-160 Jews were shot each day.
