[November 1941] At the same time, it was rumoured that 3 km from Slonim, in Pietralewicze, graves had been dug. [...] On 14 November 1941 at 5 in the morning, the Ukrainian military police and the Belarusian police surrounded the Jewish-populated areas. At 7 a.m. the action began. [...] All the people taken were led to the market and from there, in groups of 200-300, they went on foot to Pietralewicze (some of them were transported in cars). [...] The graves were just trenches on both sides of a narrow strip of land. Once the Jews were on the square in Pietralewicze, they were stripped of any valuables, furs, better clothes and shoes and then led to that strip of land and shot with machine guns. |
