History
The village had an important Jewish community.[1] Germans occupied the town from November 1941 to January 1944 and built 3 camps.[2] Between 9,000 and 13,000 of the up to 50,000 imprisoned Belarusian and Russian men, women and children did not survive their incarceration at the camps.[3][4]
