Radoszkowice Area
Poland
Another mass murder operation took place on March 7, 1943. The Germans once again surrounded the ghetto. The remaining Jews were ordered to undergo a registration. The pretext was the claim that the Germans had found guns in the house of two inmates of the ghetto. The inmates were taken to a nearby village, to a barn where some of them were shot outside it, while others were burned to death inside. The total number of victims was about 340.
