On November 2, 1942, the Germans assembled all the Jews of Wołpa in the church square and sent them to the Wołkowysk transit camp. At the same time, they singled out a number of elderly and infirm Jews, as well as those who had tried to evade the deportation – sixty-six persons in total. This group was locked in the town's bathhouse, and subsequently shot at the Jewish cemetery. According to some sources, these Jews were told by the Germans that a retirement home would be built for them in Wołpa.

From Zvi (Herschel) Kaplan's memoir, "Incidents in Volp"

Wladek Petrovich's [sic!] son and his companions dug a common grave in the new cemetery for the entire day. That evening, they were shot in groups of ten at the mouth of the common grave. Gershon Srebrenik, who jumped into the grave, was buried alive. Only Perel Motteh Yoshkes had the good fortune to sneak out of the window in the bathhouse, and flee in the direction of the Volkovysk [Wołkowysk] bunkers, where, however, she died two weeks later from exhaustion.… The murder of sixty-six people took place on the day of Zadushek [Zaduszki, the common Polish and Belorussian day of commemoration of the dead]…. The Germans ordered the Christian grave diggers to strip the clothing of the corpses, but no one moved from their places to do this....
