Prison Courtyard in Tarashcha

In late 1941 and in 1942 some Jews from Tarashcha, probably ones who had succeeded in escaping the large-scale massacres of Tarashcha's Jews in the fall 1941 by going into hiding, but who were ultimately discovered, were taken to the local police prison. After being held for some time, they were taken, in groups of between several dozen and several hundred people, to a pit in the prison courtyard and shot dead there by German rural and local auxiliary policemen.
