In 1944, probably in 29 january, the Polish village of Koniuchy, was completely destroyed and all its inhabitants murdered by partisans from the Lithuanian Brigade, a group of Jewish soldiers of the Red Army, under the command of Jacob Penner and Shmuel Kaplinsky.
The village was not fortified, and the villagers were armed with only a few old rifles. A total of about 300 men, women and children were massacred indiscriminately and 60 households destroyed with no survivors.
After the war, some of the partisans (including Chaim Lazaar, Israel Weiss, and Rich Cohen) boasted of the crime. No criminal charges were filed. Their participation in the action may be the reason for the pride of some of the culprits.
