About 800 Jews of Dribin were murdered on October 7, 1941, near the village of Poloski. Later, the victims were interred in the Jewish cemetery, in the mass grave. However, the present tombstone marks the separate grave of the two families - the Rivkin and the Husin - who were among the 800 Jewish victims of Dribin.
