Investigation concerning mass murders of Polish population in the years 1941-1943 committed by the officials of the German occupation authorities in Wołkowysk and the area - wersja graficzna tekstu
As a result of the extensive
investigation it has been established that mass murders of Polish population
were committed in the territories under the supervision of the police
authorities in Wołkowysk in the years 1941-1944. In particular cases, as was the
case with the Szulicze village in July 1943, all inhabitants were murdered (more
than 350 people), including women and children, and their property was pillaged
and burnt down.
Also the cases of murdering victims of Belorussian and Jewish nationalities were
examined, including 80 people in the Borysiki village. The witnesses
testimonies point to the fact that German perpetrators selected their victims
who were later shot down on the basis of their Polish nationality and
intelligentsia background. These testimonies concern in particular crimes
committed in Wołkowysk and Świsłocz. At the present stage of the investigation,
detailed information concerning 15 cases of mass murders was established.
