Yeshiva World News reported that a mass grave of over 1000 Jews murdered by the Nazi in the Holocaust was found at a building site in the city of Brest on the Polish border.

The skeletons of around 600 have been found so far. City official Anna Kondak said: "We expect the number of victims to go over 1,000."

The victims are assumed to be from the Brest Jewish ghetto where up to 28,000 Jews were held during the Nazi occupation of the area.
