the vicinity of Ushomir

According to German reports, the remaining Jewish men of Ushomir (some sources indicate that there were ten of them, and that they were all artisans) were shot in late August – early September 1941, although some postwar testimonies date the murder operation to December 1941. Prior to the shooting, the Jews had been hiding at the local hospital, but someone denounced them to the Germans. The shooting took place on the banks of the Uzh River, in the area of Ushomir. There is no precise information about the number of Jewish victims of this massacre.
