Murder Story of Wolkowysk Jews in Mysie Góry-Prochownia

... At this time [the beginning of July 1941], the first killings began. Later on, they were often repeated: they caught people, took them out of town and shot them. They followed a plan. After receiving a denunciation, they took the parents and the brother of Andrei [Abram Tsukerman], whose mother was a teacher. They also took Markus, who was a Communist, and Maze, who worked at the municipality. They were shot on the outskirts of Wołkowysk. … The Gestapo used to come several times a month, and each time, their raids ended with the shooting of people. Once they were guarding a long column of people on their way to be shot. Among those doomed ones there was a sports teacher nicknamed Tsirele; I don't remember his proper name. Another former teacher at the gymnasium approached the Germans and asked them to release the sports teacher. The Germans grabbed the [former] teacher and pushed him into the column, together with the rest … Later on, they shot "defective" people, those who were actually normal, but [only] sick.… Even before these events, … a partisan was wounded in the forest. They needed a doctor, and they turned to Sara; her husband asked Doctor Wajnberg, who was the chairman of the Judenrat.… Doctor Wajnberg agreed …, and Sara, a nurse went together with him. He bandaged the wound, gave the partisans much material for bandages and promised to come again. Some days later, however, a traitor informed the Germans that a doctor had visited the partisans.... The Gestapo arrested all the Jewish doctors, including women who were dentists. The women were released, but the [male] doctors were shot.… Wajnberg, who had contacts with the partisans, was not denounced. It is a heroic deed, and I regret that to this day there is no monument to them even though it is known where they were killed....
