Goniądz extermination anniversary
A slaughter of at least 116 Jewish citizens of Goniądz executed by Polish people in July 1941.

Analyzing the situation in Goniadz, it has to be underlined that all implications of Holocaust were present there. It can be also told that in this little Polish town in 1941 the mini Szoah was conducted. The citizens of Goniadz themselves created a special police unit, so called civil guard, and then segregated the Jewish citizens from the rest of the city - exactly the way as it was done in Nazi extermination camps: they separated women from men and placed all men in two separated camps. The camp that served as a work camp was located in a barn R. and the death camp was in the basement K. The last one contained political prisoners as well those Goniad citizens who somehow disfavored the civil guard. Next, the extermination took place. Some other abuses had their place in Goniadz as well: slavery, rapes on Jewish women, property theft. 

Nothing that happened can prove that the actions of Polish citizens were accidental or that there was a 'crazyness' of murder or crowd amok. Everything seemed to be well prepared, perfectly organized and with intention of professional murdering. That concerns not only enslavering and killing the Jews but also hiding the bodies and the crime evidence in a latter time. Moreover, in the first weeks of the war it all happened without German soldiers being present.
