Interview by Georgiy Musevich in 1997
As early as July 1941, the Germans carried out a raid against the Jewish men of Kamieniec [Litewski], and they shot over 100 Jewish men at the Rovets Ravine, which lies across from [the village of] Bolshiye Muriny [Muryny Wielkie], 2 kilometers from the town, on the left side of the road to Kamieniec-Brest [Brześć nad Bugiem]. Initially, the mass grave was surrounded with birch trees. Later, the birch trees were removed, and the soil of the area was plowed. Now, there is only a single tree growing there.
