Murder Story of Propoysk Jews at a Lake near Propoysk

… On November 28, I remember the date well, about ten o’clock, a woman appeared on our street and told us to flee, the killers were coming. But where could we flee? Winter had already begun. We hid in different places…. The killers’ arrival was delayed. We decided that they were tricking us. I took my shoes and went to the shoemaker to fix them. While I was going there, I suddenly heard a noise from the street where the ghetto was located. I immediately ran to the house where my little brothers were and there I saw that the place had been turned upside down. There was no one there. In the street alongside our neighbors' house stood a truck covered with a cloth. They were taking children from different houses and throwing them into the truck. I hid and, through a crack in the shed, I saw how they were throwing the children over the back gate into the truck. I counted 50 children… Later I learned that all of the children had been drowned in the lake....
