Town in Polesia on the railroad line, Kalinkavitchy sees its community shot in the first months of occupation.
Borough of Belarusian Polesia at the crossroads of railway lines, Kalinkavitchy saw its Jewish population enclosed from the first weeks, then led in groups toward open pits dug in the sand of the outskirts. A portion of the inhabitants had followed the evacuation of workshops eastward; those who had remained, mostly elderly, women, and children, were shot before winter.
