the partisans still holding out in the immediate neighborhood. During a
mopping-up operation in that neighborhood on 9 October 1941, 81 Jews were shot

Russian uniforms were found in several Jewish dwellings. As a result of numerous complaints about their provocative behavior, a total number of 2,200 Jews of all ages were liquidated in Gorki (northeast of Mogilev) and surroundings during a mopping-up operation in 8 localities. They were for the most part Jews who had immigrated from the district of Minsk, and, like the rest, had committed offenses against the regulations made by the German forces. The operation was carried out in close cooperation with the military police. In Mstislavl, about 80 km. east of Mogilev, 900 Jews were liquidated who had offended against the regulations of the German forces, had harbored passing partisans, and had provided them with food and clothing. On 19 October 1941 a large scale operation against the Jews was carried out in Mogilev with the aid of the police regiment "Mitte". Through this 3,726 Jews of both sexes and all ages were liquidated. These measures were necessary because, since the town of Mogilev was occupied by German troops, the Jews [verb missing] the authority of the occupying forces and in spite of the measures already taken against them, they not only failed to desist in this action but continued their anti-German activities (sabotage, support of partisans, refusal to work, etc.) to such an extent and with such persistence that in the interests of establishing order in the rearward areas it could no longer be tolerated. On 23 October 1941, to prevent further acts of sabotage and to combat the partisans, a further number of Jews, 279 of both sexes, from Mogilev and surroundings were liquidated.
