Full Testimony	[July 1941] 10 days after seizing the town by the German army, a group of SSmen and Gestapo came to Slonim to take 1200 young Jewish men. The SSmen and the Gestapo men were catching Jews on the streets and in their houses. They entered the Jewish commune as well and took everyone from the Praesidium and some of the officials. The people who got caught were told to take some food with them, because they were going to work to Germany. Once they had enough people, the Gestapo men led all the men to the market and from there took them in cars in an unknown direction. [...] After 2 or 3 weeks, the wives and mothers of the men taken by the Gestapo, while looking for their husband and loved ones, found newly dug graves, clothes covered in blood and passports of the executed men, in a forest, 50 km from Slonim.
