Located on Piekna Street, about 600 meters south of Town Square

Plaque reads: "In August 1941 the Fascists murdered 800 Jewish people
of whom 500 were burned alive in a barn. Honor to their memory."

To this day the plaque claims it was the Germans (as opposed to the Poles)
who murdered the town's Jews. Read accurate accounts of what really happened:
