Several hundred Jews lived in the village of Dubrovka near Bryansk before the Second World War. Many had been able to flee or had enlisted in the Red Army before the occupation of Dubrovka by the German Wehrmacht in August 1941. The Jews who remained in the village fell victim to various murder campaigns of the SS-Einsatzgruppe B (SS mobile killing squad). On February 23, 1942, members of the Einsatzgruppe locked about twenty Jews in an old blacksmith's workshop and set fire to the building.

The memorial plaque in honour of the Jewish victims of Dubrovka was set up in 2002, as part of a project of »School nr. 1« in Dubrovka. The plaque reads: »In Memory of the Dubrovka Jews«.
