Lysaya Gora near Chechersk

At the end of November 1941 a group of Jews (apparently consisting of people considered unfit for work) was taken to anti-tank trenches at Lysaya Gora, near the Kovpin River, and shot to death there. A second murder operation was carried out on December 28 1941. Then all the Jews remaining in the ghetto were taken to Lysaya Gora and shot to death by the Germans and local collaborators. Almost 500 Jews were killed in the two murder operations.
