Murder story of Krewo Jews in the Tałminowo Area

In October 1942, the Germans began to transfer the Jews of the Krewo Ghetto to the Oszmiana Ghetto, as they had done previously with the inmates of the Smorgonie and Holszany ghettos. On October 24, the Germans carried out a selection in Oszmiana, after which they took 406 elderly, sick, and disabled Jews to a place near the village of Talminowo, west of Oszmiana, and shot them there. Some survivors identify the killing site with the former Uglejewo farm (which lay 1 km south of Talminowo, and which no longer exists), while others assert that it was the Żielonka farmstead (khutor) on the outskirts of Talminowo.
