On June 27 (the 27th of May, or July, or August, according to various Soviet and German reports and witness testimonies), 1942 Jews incarcerated in the Raygorod labor camp were made to line up in the open. A selection was carried out during which all the able-bodied Jews were separated to be sent to work; later they were transferred to the Bratslav labor camp. The remaining Jews, both from Raygorod itself and the deportees from Teplik, a total of between 100 and 200, mostly elderly people and children, were taken to pits dug in the forest about one kilometer from Raygorod, forced to strip naked, and then shot dead in groups of 10 to 20. The perpetrators of the massacre were apparently some of the SS troops guarding the Jewish forced laborers in the Gaysin construction zone of Thoroughfare IV. In the course of 1942 and 1943 groups of inmates of the Bratslav camp who were deemed unfit for work were, on several occasions, taken across the Bug River and murdered in the forest near Raygorod.
