The smallÊvillageÊofÊKos—w Poleski, Poland (nowÊKosava,ÊBelarus) was invaded by German troops in June 1941. For just over a year, the town was under Nazi control. The Jews were forced to labor and live in ghettos. OnÊJuly 25, 1942 nearly the entire Jewish population was slaughtered. A handful of the Jews were kept alive to work for the Nazis, but one by one they succumbed until only one Jew survived to bear witness to the atrocities. This book is primarily based on the events he witnessed. This memorial book includes numerous photos of the village and its residents as well as lists documenting those who were murdered and the residents who migrated away before the Nazis first arrived.
