The jewish community


At the outbreak of World War II, Jewish refugees from the area arrived in the town. On June 29, 1941, after Operation Barbarossa, the town was bombed by German planes, killing 165 Jews. On July 4, the Germans entered the town, and began abducting Jews there for forced labor, and murdering other Jews. The town's Jews were soon ordered to wear an armband with a Star of David, and a Judenrat was appointed in the town. Later, the town's Jews were transferred to an open ghetto.

In the first collection carried out by Ukrainian police in the town, on May 20, 1942, about 400 Jews were murdered. In the second gathering, held on September 25, 1942, about 350 Jews were murdered. In the third gathering held on November 14, 1942, 123 Jews were murdered. And about twenty Jewish professionals left in the town were murdered on July 17, 1943.

On January 18, 1944, the town was liberated by the Red Army. About twenty of the town's Jews survived hiding in the woods. Due to hostilities on the part of the local Ukrainians, these did not return to live in the town.[4]
