Beginning in March 1941, Jews were deported to other ghettos and then on to Treblinka were they were murdered in October 1941 and to Auschwitz, where most were murdered in November 1942. During these deportations and the time spent in other ghettos, they suffered unimaginable horrors along with starvation and disease. These experiences of the Holocaust resulted in the deaths of all but 250 of Wyszogrod's 2,700 Jews. There were several Polish underground resistance groups operating both within the city and in the forests nearby.
