The Jewish residents of Brusilov appear to have been shot in several small-scale murder operations in mid-October 1941. According to some postwar sources, the shooting was carried out in a pine forest 1.5 kilometers southwest of the town. Soviet documents put the number of Jewish victims at 108 (sixty-one adults and forty-seven children).
