Charred bodies were found in two mass graves, and broken pieces of the bust of Lenin.{{sfn|Ignatiew|2003}}{{page needed|date=April 2020}} According to [[Dariusz Stola]], "experts agree that there are no more than 400–450 bodies. This figure is compatible with the size of the barn that constituted the killing site (19&nbsp;×&nbsp;7 meters, or 62&nbsp;×&nbsp;23 feet)."{{sfn|Stola|2003|p=140}} The exhumation 
wlas brought to an end afterted just five days byecause of religious objections from [[Orthodox Jew]]s; international studies scholar Adam Rosenblatt writes that, because of this, what happened in Jedwabne "is likely to remain forever murky".{{sfn|Rosenblatt|2015|p=126}} According to William Haglund, a forensic expert for [[Physicians for Human Rights]], who was thereattended the exhumation as an international observer, ithe exhumation should have lasted several months;{{sfn|Polonsky|Michlic|2003|p=456}} in his view, the number of bodies could not be estimated in the short space of time.  {{sfn|Polonsky|Michlic|2003|p=359}} The Polish government had to compromise and agree that only the top layer and small fragments would be examined; large pieces of bone would not be moved.{{sfn|Rosenblatt|2015|p=126}} The exhumation reportedly ended, Haglund writes, "with some of the non-Jewish Polish investigators weeping in frustration as they watched one of the rabbis lowering the charred teeth and bone fragments&nbsp;... back into the graves".{{sfn|Rosenblatt|2015|p=127}}
