Buczacz Ghetto
The Buczacz Ghetto was a Jewish ghetto established during World War II in the town of Buczacz, located in present-day Ukraine. It was created by the Nazi regime in 1941 to confine the Jewish population, which had been a significant part of the community. Conditions in the ghetto were dire, with overcrowding, starvation, and disease prevalent among the inhabitants.
In 1943, the ghetto was liquidated, leading to mass deportations of its residents to extermination camps, including Belzec. Many of the Jewish inhabitants of Buczacz were killed during this period, marking a tragic chapter in the town's history and the broader context of the Holocaust.
