The toll is reproduced exactly as the source states it — never rounded, never added to another. Tolls overlap from one event to the next.
The Jews of the village are locked in a barn and burned alive, three days before Jedwabne.
On the seventh day of July, the Jews of Radziłów were locked in a barn and burned alive, three days before the same method was employed in Jedwabne.
The precedence of Radziłów matters: it establishes that this was not an isolated episode but a method that spread from one small town to another within days, across a limited radius. Investigations have shown the presence of the same individuals from one location to another, and the absence of any German unit on the ground at the time of the events.
