On June 17, 1942, early in the morning, Germans and local auxiliary police surrounded Snów and collected about 500 Jews in one place. They then took the Jews to a pit that had been dug half a kilometer west of Snów, near the village of Paniutycze. There the Jews were killed in the forest. A number of Jews escaped. The Germans called on them to return, supposedly to a ghetto that was going to be set up. When 88 Jews did so, they were left unharmed for a brief period of time. However, on June 20 they too were shot to death.
