Murder Site
Szarkowszczyzna Area
Poland
In September 1941 the local German rural police chief ordered the auxiliary police to provide him with a list of Jews who had held positions during the [previous] Soviet rule [there]. After the list was provided, 7 young people whose names were on that list were taken outside the town, forced to dig a grave for themselves, and then shot. Several days later 4 other young people were killed for the same reason.
