ABSTRACT
The Catholic priests of the city of Zaslaw were skinned alive, while the dukes who had been interred for a long time, were removed from their graves and tossed aside. The Catholic monasteries as well as our synagogues were destroyed and turned into stables for horses. This they also did in the holy community of Ostrog, the capital, where they killed the six hundred persons who had remained there. After the enemies captured the holy community of Polannoe, and did what they would unto it, they proceeded to the holy community of Zaslaw. They robbed the whole community, and killed some two hundred persons, who had been unable to escape because of sickness. Some had placed their trust in their Ukrainian friends that they would save them, and therefore, hid in the forests until the fury would pass. When they arrived in the city they were seized by their "friends," the Ukrainians, to be killed.
