Murder Story of Łanowce Jews in Białozórka
Murder Site
Białozórka
Poland
According to one testimony, in the summer of 1941 the residents of Łanowce, mainly Jews, who had worked under the Soviet regime, were arrested and held in the town prison. After some time, they were taken on foot from the prison toward the nearby village of Białozórka and, near the entrance to the village, all of them were murdered and buried at the site.

From the testimony of Moshe Rozenberg, who was born in Łanowce and was living there during its German occupation
… all those who had taken part in [i.e., had worked under] the previous regime were arrested as well. The prison [where they were held] became too narrow to contain all of them. … As the Ukrainian [residents] informed [the Jews] later, they [i.e. the political prisoners] were taken on foot to [the village of] Białozórka, while those who were feeble or in pain were killed on the road [leading to Białozórka]. They were all buried together.... Their grave is located … at the entrance to Białozórka.
