On October 10, 1941 local policemen and German soldiers took the Jews by family groups to the forest in the vicinity of the Jewish cemetery several hundred meters from the town. There all the Jews were shot by members of the third company of the second battalion of the 691st Infantry Regiment of the Wehrmacht. Children were thrown into the grave alive. Several Jews succeeded in escaping on the way to the execution site. A total of 156 Jews were killed.
