Between July 26, 1941, and early August, 1941, the Germans set up the Białystok Ghetto Getto w Białymstoku, and 50,000 Jews from Białystok and the surrounding region were herded into the Ghetto, which was divided in two by the Biala River Rzeka Biała.
Most inmates forced into labor, primarily in the textile factories established within the Ghetto.

In February, 1943, the first group of 10,000 Białystok Jews were sent to their deaths at the Treblinka extermination camp.
Hundreds of Jews were killed , especially those deemed too weak or sick for the trains.
7,600 inmates were transsferred to the central transit camp in Białystok for their further selection, and those deemed fit to work were sent to the Majdanek camp, where, after another screening, they were transported to the Poniatowa, Blizyn, and Auschwitz labor camps, while those deemed too weak to work were murdered at Majdanek.
More than 1,000 Jewish children were sent to the Theresienstadt Ghetto, and then to Auschwitz-Birkenau, where they were killed.

On August 16, 1943, the Bialystok Ghetto Getto w Białymstoku was raided, part of Aktion Reinhard, by regiments of the German SS with Ukrainian, Belorussian and Latvian auxiliaries as the first step in the destruction of the Ghetto.

On the night of August 16, 1943, a group of Polish Jews began an armed uprising against the troops carrying out the liquidation of the Bialystok Ghetto Getto w Białymstoku., which lasted for a full month, until September 15, 1943.
About one hundred Jews escaped and joined partisan groups in the Białystok area.

In November, 1943, the Białystok Ghetto Getto w Białymstoku was liquidated.
