On November 2 or, according to Semen Fridmann, on November 16, 1941 the local Ukrainian police surrounded the Jewish quarter in Narodichi and took the Jews to the prison in Narodichi.
The Ukrainian police forces put the Jewish women, men, and children into separate prison cells. Afterward, the Germans took the Jews to the Jewish cemetery of Narodichi. The Jews were forced to dig a 7-8 square meter big pit. The Jews were shot to death in groups of 10 people. Approximately 250 to 370 Jews of Narodichi were killed on that day.
