the Jews of the town robbed and beaten, several killed
Bragin, a small town in Belarusian Polesia near the Ukrainian border, had a majority Jewish population. It was struck by the armed bands that crossed the region during the final years of the civil war. The town's Jews were stripped of their possessions, beaten, and several were killed. The town took a long time to recover from those years.
