The two ghettos of Kobryn are liquidated a few months apart; the inhabitants are shot near the town or deported to an extermination center.
On the road through Polesia, Kobryn was home to a community whose fairs drew merchants from across the region. The ghetto opened in the city was liquidated in two operations; its inhabitants were led to open pits outside the town. A small group, which had obtained weapons, managed to reach the marshes and joined the detachments operating there.
