In the early morning of a day in May in 1942 a group of Security Police and SD members, together with the 1st Motorized Gendarmerie Platoon from Łuck arrived in town in five trucks. With the assistance of Ukrainian auxiliary police, they surrounded the barracks, woke its Jewish inhabitants, and loaded them half-naked and barefoot onto trucks. Upon their arrival in the Tsuman Forest near Łuck, 270 Jews - 30 men and 240 women and children - were shot to death by members of those two German security forces.
