Before the Holocaust, the local Jewish population numbered around 1,300 individuals. In June 1942, the Germans gathered all Jewish citizens in the market square and during the next three days murdered them all. Their bodies were laid in a 100 meter long mass grave in Jewish cemetery in Sławatycze.[2]
