Byten Ghetto (summer 1941 – December 25, 1942) was a Jewish ghetto and a place of forced resettlement of Jews from the town of Byten in the Ivatsevichy district of the Brest region and nearby settlements during the persecution and extermination of Jews by Nazi Germany during World War II.

Before the war, 739 Jews lived in the town of Byten, along with about 200 Jewish refugees from Poland.

[2] Following the occupation, the Germans, implementing the Nazi program of exterminating Jews, organized a ghetto in the town and established a Judenrat of six people, headed by dentist Arbuz.

[4] For this reason, "actions" (used by the Nazis to refer to the mass murders they organized) against Jews in Byten occurred repeatedly until the complete destruction of the ghetto.

The pit was covered with a layer of earth 0.5 meters thick and surrounded with barbed wire.

On December 30, 1944, the same commission examined two mass burial sites near the village of Rudnya (2 km from Byten).

The expert commission's conclusions did not record the nationality of the deceased, but according to witness testimonies, it was established that Jews from Byten were killed at this site on July 25, 1942.

They were brought to the killing site by trucks, forced to undress, lie face down in the pit, and shot.
