The 17 Jewish "specialists" (i.e., artisans), who had been temporarily spared by the Germans during the liquidation of the ghetto in June 1942, were killed in winter 1943 (the most likely date is January 23, 1943) near the police station in the southwestern part of Dzisna. Their bodies were buried near the village of Sharagi (Szaragi Mikołajewskie), two-three kilometers west of Dzisna.
