At the end of September 1941 the Germans collected about 400 Jews of Dribin in several houses of the town. After a week, on September 30 (according to the inscription on the monument at the Jewish cemetery, on October 7) members of Einsatzkommando 8 , under the command of SS-Obersturmfuehrer Carl Ruhrberg, arrived in Dribin from Bobruisk. They ordered the Jews to put on their best clothes and take their valuables with them. Aided by local policemen the Germans took the Jews to a forest located two kilometers south of the town, near the village of Poloski, and shot them to death there.
