Nota histórica

Dzhulynka is situated approximately 150 km (93 mi) southeast of Vinnytsia. The village was founded in 1681 on the left bank of the southern Bug River. Following the Second Partition of Poland in 1793, the village became part of the Russian Empire. Little is known about the earliest traces of the Jewish community in Dzhulynka. However, according to the 1939 census, the Jewish population numbered 212 individuals, constituting approximately 5% of the total population of Dzhulynka. Local Jews were primarily engaged in commerce and artisanal work, with many of the town's businesses being owned and operated by them. During the Soviet period, a number of them worked in the bank and a kolkhoz. A larger Jewish community resided in Ternivka, located about 22 km (14mi) away.

Holocausto por balas en cifras

Before the German troops entered Dzhulynka on July 29, 1941, a number of local Jews were mobilized or enlisted voluntarily to the Red Army, while some others managed to evacuate to the east. Following a brief period of military control, the village transitioned to German civil administration in November 1941. Subsequently, a German gendarmerie post and a Ukrainian police unit were established in Dzhulynka. According to witnesses’ accounts, remaining local Jews were captured while trying to escape and taken to Ternivka, where they were subsequently murdered.

In Dzhulynka itself, in the pine forest nearby the village, 156 people in all, Jews and Ukrainians, were executed during the German occupation. According to Soviet archives, the victims were killed over the course of two main Aktions, conducted in December 1942 and February 1943. In addition, according to research results, the executions of small groups of victims, including the Jews in hiding, were carried out throughout the whole occupation period. Before being murdered, the victims were captured and locked in the local prison, from where they were taken to the execution site and, after digging their own graves, shot to death by local policemen under supervision of a German guard.
