The anniversary of the liquidation of the ghetto in Augustów
On 2 November, the anniversary of the liquidation of the ghetto in Augustów, the Pilecki Institute lay flowers at the monument at the Jewish Cemetery and at the lapidarium on Waryńskiego Street.
The liquidation of the ghetto located in the Baraki district of Augustów took place in November and December 1942. On 2 November 1942, all prisoners of the Augustów ghetto, mainly women and children, were deported by the Germans to the transit camp in Bogusze near Grajewo, and then to the German Nazi death camps of Treblinka and Auschwitz-Birkenau, where most of them were murdered in gas chambers.
