Mysie Góry-Prochownia
On the fourth day of their occupation, using lists that had been compiled by their local collaborators, the Germans arrested ca. 200 Jews and shot them in the area of the Mysie Góry Forest (now Myshinnye Gory), 1-2 kilometers east of the town center, close to the local cemetery. The area of Mysie Góry is now included within the municipal limits of the town. Some witnesses who gave testimonies to the ChGK identified this site with the road to the nearby Biskupce village, or with the Prochownia Forest (close to Mysie Góry, southwest of this site). Other killings of Jews took place in July 1941 at this site or close to it. On July 13, 11 Jewish physicians of Wołkowysk were shot to death by the Germans.

Other murders of Jewish and non-Jewish victims were perpetrated at the same place in July 1941.
