Special actions
In the course of a thorough examination in the prisoner-of-war camp in
Vitebsk, 207 prisoners were apprehended and shot.
More special actions had to be carried out in Sloboda, Polotsk, Bychitsa,
and Biskatovo, since the Jews sabotaged the orders of the German occupying
authorities. A total of 286 Jews were shot.
The ghetto in Gorodok had to be evacuated as there was a danger of an
outbreak of epidemics. 394 Jews were shot.
During an examination of the prisoner-of-war camp in Vyazma, a total of 177
Jews were caught and shot.
