Natalya Voitsekhovich, the local secondary school teacher, who was born in 1956 in Shatsk, related:
Interview by Alexander Litin and Ida Shenderovich in 2013
At the beginning of the war the Jewish teachers were killed, after that the Belarusian teachers too... because the Communists [and] Komsomol members did not share the views [of the Germans], etc. By 1943 only 2 [Belarussian] teachers were still alive.
