The Jewish populations of Milowidy and of nearby Skorynki village were murdered on August 7, 1941. The Germans who arrived in the village on that day collected the Jews and took them to bushes near the Mołotówka River. There the victims were divided into three groups – men, women, and children- and then shot in peat pits. Two of the women attempted to escape from the site. Shortly afterward, one of them, apparently wounded, drowned in the river. The other returned to the murder site and was shot on the following day. According to some sources the number of the victims is estimated as having been 24.
