In February of 1942, as an act of revenge for partisans killing a German, the German military police organized manhunts in nearby villages. In Krasne they gathered 35 local Jews whom they had dragged out of their homes. Later they made them stand in front of one of the houses and executed them. On the Germans’ orders the locals buried the Jews on a nearby field where they rest until this day. Among the killed Jews there were whole families with children.
