CEMETERY:
Remains of the Jewish cemetery are in a wooded area. There are several round stones, which are quite old. One is face up so the inscription might be obtainable. There are also mounds in rows which look to be graves, but without stones. Not far from there is the mass grave and a memorial built by Schmuel Kaplan of Baranovichi with the names of the families and the number of members of each family who were executed and buried there. He obtained this from a woman I met, who still lives in Mysh. Although it was strictly forbidden, she followed the group and watched the executions and later wrote down with a friend the information that survives. He visited May 5-9, 1977. Source: Larry S.
