In late August 1942 or, according to some sources, on August 23, SS soldiers arrived at the ghetto [Ghetto B] and collected between 400 and 600 ghetto inmates. The victims were taken to an area two kilometers from Zaniwie village and shot in pits that had been prepared in advance. The Jews were shot and their personal possessions were taken away. Other sources say the murder operation was carried out in a ravine near Bronna Góra village.
