Shootings of Braslav
juin 1942·Braslav
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 Braslav are led to a hill outside the town and shot; a second action, a few months later, completes the destruction of the community.
On the shores of the lakes of northern Belarus, Braslav sees its ghetto liquidated at the end of a spring of forced labor. The inhabitants are led to nearby pits; a group of young people, who had gathered a few weapons, attempts to break through the encirclement, and a handful of them reach the forest, where they join the partisan detachments.
