Jewish Cemetery near Kamień Village

On August 10, 1941, 100-150 Jewish men from Pohost Zahorodzki were arrested and taken to the center of the town. Among those taken were a local rabbi, a local kosher slaughterer, the most educated people in the community, and some boys age twelve and above. In the center of the town they were beaten and the rabbi was abused in front of the others. Then the Jews were taken to the local Jewish cemetery located near Kamień village. There they were stripped naked and shot in a ditch with pistols in groups of five. Six Belarusians, Soviet activists from Kamień and, probably, from other places, were murdered together with the Jews.
