Radziłów Pogrom

Polish residents — encouraged by the SS — forced most of the Jewish population into a barn, set it on fire, and killed many also in the surrounding villages. The estimated number of victims ranges from 600 to 2,000 Jews. Only about 30 survived, thanks to help from minority of neighbours.
