Horodok, Haisyn Raion

The town had a large Jewish population during the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries, although settlement occurred as early as the 17th century, and continued to grow despite earlier pogroms.^[6] The town had a wooden synagogue that burned down in 1939.

The population of the village by the 1897 All-Russia census was nearly 8,600 people, 3,200 of whom were Jewish. Jews mostly resided in the center of the town, while many of the Polish residents resided in farms on the outskirts of the village.^[7]

The town was captured by German forces on July 8, 1941. A ghetto was formed shortly after to house the Jews of Horodok and nearby Kuzmyn. In the beginning of Autumn of 1941, several Jews were publicly tortured and hanged in the town square as an intimidation tactic. In October 1941, most of the Jews were brought to a military base near the Yarmolintsi railway station. Following an attempted uprising, the Jews were shot, along with the Jews of Frampol^[uk], Mikhalpol^[uk], and Satanov.^[6] The 1942-1943 winter season saw another 103 Jews shot and killed, including Jews who had hid during occupation. The village was liberated by Soviet forces on March 25, 1944.

In modern times, there is a Jewish cemetery atop a hill in the village with tombstones from up until the end of the 19th century.
