In this town on the banks of the Ros, the community of Bohouslav is shot in a ravine nearby; the locality had already been struck by civil war pogroms.
On the banks of the Ros, Bohouslav was home to an ancient community whose artisans and merchants gave life to the town. After the German troops entered, the Jews who had remained were counted, stripped of their belongings, then gathered under the pretext of resettlement and led to a nearby ravine where they were shot. The families who had managed to flee eastward before the front closed were the only ones to survive.
