Israeli Soldiers Walking At Lopochova Forest, Poland, In Memory Of Jews Who Were Murdered Here At What Is Know As The The Tykocin Massacre (Pogrom). On August 25, 1941, The Germans Called The Tykocin Jews To Assemble Early Morning In The Market Square, Where They Were Guarded By Local Polish Volunteers. About 1,400-1,500 People Were Soon Transported To A Nearby Forest, Where The Germans Executed Them. Some Succeeded In Hiding, But Many Of Those Were Turned In By Polish Peasants And Executed By A Militia Organized By Germans From Local Poles The Next Day. About 250 More Jews Were Murdered.
