Krivelevo, formerly known as Pizovo, is located in eastern Belarus, close to the Russian border, 150 km (93 mi) northwest of Vitebsk and 50 km (31 mi) north of Polotsk. There is no exact information about how many Jews lived in Krivelovo before the war. According to locals there were several of them in the village. In the Rosony district, the first records of the Jewish community date back to the early 19th century. The Jews typically worked in shops, workshops, mills, and warehouses.
Krivelovo, formerly known as Pizovo, was occupied by German forces in July 1941. Some Jews escaped to hide in the hamlets located around Krivelovo after the mass executions carried out in the district in late September-early October 1941. According to one local witness interviewed by Yahad, an execution of about 50 Jews from Krivelovo also took place. The victims were taken from the village and shot in the field not far from the road leading to Baievo. There is no exact date for the shooting, but we believe it might have happened in October 1941. Women, children, and elderly people were among the victims. Today, there is no memorial at the killing site.
