Railway hub of central Belarus, Ossipovitchi saw its community gathered near the station, sorted between those employed in the workshops and those taken immediately to the pits.
Ossipovitchi, a railway junction in the Moguilev region, loses its community shortly after the arrival of German troops: the Jews are registered, marked, put to work at the station, then gathered and shot in the nearby woods. The town then serves as a stronghold against the partisans who hold the surrounding forests.
