The Holocaust in the Kamyenyets District is the systematic persecution and extermination of Jews in the Kamyenyets District of the Brest Region by the occupying authorities of Nazi Germany and collaborators from 1941 to 1944 during World War II, as part of the policy of the "Final Solution to the Jewish Question" — an integral part of the Holocaust in Belarus and the Catastrophe of European Jewry.
Control over the district was maintained by the Nazi military occupation administration through field and local commandant's offices established by the Wehrmacht.
In some settlements, Jews were initially confined to ghettos and used for forced labor under inhumane conditions, resulting in high mortality due to overwork, starvation, and lack of medical care.
[4] The occupation authorities enforced numerous restrictions on Jews, including mandatory wearing of yellow patches or six-pointed stars, prohibition from leaving the ghetto without permission, changing residences within the ghetto, walking on sidewalks, using public transport, being in parks and public places, and attending schools.
Jews were massacred in locations such as Bolshie Muriny (140 people), Bolshaya Turna, Kamenyuki, Svinevo, Leshno, and Zamostye (now part of Kamyenyets).
The last known execution of Jews in the district occurred in 1944, when two Jewish families (nine people) who had fallen behind a partisan unit were killed in the forest between Chvirki and Belev.
