By 1890, the Jewish population reached about 7,000 (more than 60% of the total population).
After the German invasion in 1939, the town came under the control of the Soviet Union.  The Germans entered the town on July 7, 1941, and soon established a Judenrat.  By the end of 1942, over 4,500 Jews had been either murdered or deported to the Belzec death camp.  At this time, a ghetto was established which was soon filled with refugees from nearby towns.  In early April, 1943, more than 2,000 Jews were shot to death at killing pits near Fedor Hill.  Shortly thereafter, skilled workers were removed from the ghetto and sent to the Podheitzka labor camp.  In April and May, 1943, an additional 3,000 Jews were murdered.  On May, 1943, the Jews remaining in the ghetto were deported.  In June, 1943, all remaining Jews, including the skilled workers, were shot to death at the Jewish cemetery.
