It was surrounded by a long fence with barbed wire. The families who lived on Podgorna street had all been evicted. The Jews were sent to these houses. The Jews were all gathered in the ghetto. Then, they organized the transport of the Jews through Rampa Brzeska in order to take them to Wlodawa. Then, they ordered them to swim across the Bug. Some of them could swim, the others drowned.”

DS 196/67 document 45-45rev “All the Jews were executed this way: they shot the Jews with a bullet in the back of the head as they knelt. The Jews came from Staw, Nowosiolki and Siedlicz. After the shooting, a policeman with a navy blue uniform ordered me to place them on a cart. I refused. He then gave me a shovel, in order that I get out Staw , behind the alder, to wait over the grave which was dug just before. After a while, when I arrived to the grave, some of the corpses had already been put into it.”
