Murder Story of Wysokie Litewskie Jews at the Wysokie Litewskie Synagogue

According to some testimonies, several dozen Jews from Wysokie Litewskie were shot in February 1942 in a large pit that had been dug next to the synagogue. The bodies were covered with sand while some of the victims were still alive. Apparently more Jews were shot both individually and in smaller groups in other parts of the town at various times. Soviet reports indicate that a total of 320 Jews were murdered the same way near the synagogue and around the town, but the dates of those murder operations are not known.
