BREST, Belarus - Soldiers in Belarus have unearthed the bones of hundreds of people shot during World War Two from a mass grave discovered at the site of a ghetto where Jews lived under the Nazis.
The grave was uncovered by chance last month on a construction site in a residential area in the center of Brest near the Polish border. Dmitry Kaminsky, a soldier leading the unit, said they had exhumed 730 bodies so far, but could not be sure how many more would be found. Some of the skulls bore bullet holes, he said, suggesting the victims had been executed by a shot to the back of the head.
