On the morning of 3 July, German police and Polish constables rounded up Roma residents, took them to the cemetery, and shot them. The memorial-museum account records 93 victims, including men, women, and children; only five residents escaped. The empty homes were then burned. Local witness, memory, and later Roma-led commemorations counter the disappearance of the community from official records.
