Lipki Area

In the autumn of 1941, the Germans seemingly took eight Jewish men from Sukhari to Lipki Urochishche, 1.5-2 kilometers northwest of the village on the road to the village of Godnevo, and shot them in trenches dug at the time of the Soviet retreat. During the night of February 22-23, 1942, 84 Jewish survivors, the majority women, children and the elderly, were gathered by local police on the pretext that they were being transferred to another place. The children and the elderly were taken by wagon, and the others were walked to Lipki. There they were undressed and shot into a pit, which had been prepared by local villagers. Local policemen carried out the shooting, supervised by the Germans.
