The ghetto in Turov was of an "open type", Jews were left to live in their homes and a Jewish headman was appointed for them to transmit Nazi orders, monitor their implementation and organize forced labor. Jewish men were sent to forced labor every day, mainly to rebuild roads and a bridge across the river. Jews were constantly bullied, beaten and humiliated. Old people were forced to carry unbearable weights.
