According to statistics from 1939, more than 5 thousand Jews lived in Slavuta. They made up 33% of the local population.

On the eve of the occupation, part of the city's Jews were evacuated. The city was captured in early July 1941. Taking control of Slavuta, the Nazis created a "Jewish committee" and issued an order for the obligatory wearing of distinctive insignia by Jews.

In August 1941, the occupants conducted a population census. It showed that 1.3 thousand Jews remained in the city. Already on August 22, 1941, the Slavuta district government issued an order, according to which, in order to restore order in the city, the Jews had to pay an indemnity in the amount of 20 thousand rubles until August 30, 1941. Responsibility for fundraising was assigned to the "Jewish committee".

In the second half of August 1941, the Nazis carried out two extermination aktions, shooting over a thousand Jews.

In March 1942, the Nazis surrounded part of the city in the area of ​​Volodarskogo, Revolutsii and Khmelnitskogo streets with barbed wire and created a closed ghetto. It housed Jews brought from the Slavuta region. Local residents were prohibited from any contact with the inhabitants of the ghetto.

In May 1942, the invaders published an Appeal to the Jewish Population of Slavuta. The document stated that cases of violence against Jews by the non-Jewish population of the city increased. Since Jews live in different parts of the city, the authorities cannot ensure their safety. Therefore, they decided to concentrate all Jews in one area of ​​the city. The document contained an order for all Slavuta Jews to appear on May 13, 1942 for resettlement.

All Jews had to appear at the collection points with documents and hand over the keys to the apartments they occupied. The Nazis recommended that Jews take money and jewelry with them, as well as carry-on luggage necessary for settling in a new place.

The Nazis concentrated about 5 thousand Jews in the Slavuta ghetto.

At the end of June 1942, the occupants began to liquidate the ghetto. On the morning of June 27, 1942, the prisoners were driven out into the street. Men were separated from women. Mothers with babies were singled out as a separate group. In addition, the Nazis selected several artisans.

The invaders threw about 200 children into a well in the ghetto. The rest of the prisoners were escorted to the outskirts of the city. There they were shot in prepared ditches. According to various sources, from 2.5 to 5 thousand Jews perished on the territory of the city of Slavuta. After the release, it was possible to establish the names of more than 1,500 victims.
