Bronne
Poland
Early in July 1941 several Drohiczyn Jews, as well as some refugees from the nearby Vielta village, were captured and taken to the Brona estate, located four kilometers from the town. There they were tortured and then shot on the pretext of their being pro-Communist activists. In different documents the number of the victims was reported as having been between six and eleven.

From the article by Shmuel Eppelbaum "Hurban Drohitzin [Destruction of Drohiczyn]" first published in Yiddish in "The Forverts", July 19, 1945
At the beginning of July the Gestapo arrived in Drohiczyn and apprehended the barber Khatislavsky, the shoemaker Litman Dolinsky, Shifra Schwartzberg (daughter of Asher the bricklayer) and a couple of Jewish refugees from Vietla, and sent them to Brona (an estate four kilometers from the town), tortured them for a few hours, and then shot them. They had all been accused of Communist activity and were killed in connection with the anti-Communist operation that encompassed the entire region.
