The Germans did not tell anyone that they were shot. They said that they were sent to Germany for forced labor. The Christians who dug the pit in which they were all buried, told the Jews that they were shot. Permission was obtained to give them a proper Jewish burial only 4 months later, after paying heavy bribes.
A short time later the German forces took a few more Jews. They were Chaim-Elye Tzepelovitsh and Weiner's two sons-in-law, Leibe Reichel (Yaakov Leibe Reikhel was married to Yokheved nee Khodosh. His granddaughter survived and lived in Kibbutz Naan but it could be another Reichel- there were many Reichels in Postavy) , the brick-maker, and Misha Zaslavsky {Moshe Zaslavski was born in Kiew, Ukraine in 1892. He was a metalworker and married to Sonia nee Shnitzer. During the war was in Postawy, Poland, his daughter survived }. They were all shot.
Each day brought new victims and new rules set against the Jews. Jews couldn't. walk on the sidewalks. They had to walk in the middle of the street like livestock. If a Jew happened to walk on the sidewalk, he was immediately shot.
