history
The place was mentioned in writing for the first time in 1287, received Magdeburg town charter in 1541 and was in the Ruthenia / Chełmer Land voivodeship in the Polish aristocratic republic until 1795 . Then she came to the Russian Empire and in 1921 to Poland . As a result of the Hitler-Stalin Pact , the Soviet Union occupied the area. After the German invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941, the place was under German rule until 1944 and belonged to the General Government , then was recaptured by the Red Army and incorporated into the Ukrainian SSR . Since 1991 it has been part of today's Ukraine.
Jewish life in Lyuboml
The Jewish community in Ljuboml already existed in the 14th century and was one of the oldest in the Polish-Lithuanian Empire . The large, impressive military synagogue was built as early as 1510 (or 1521) .
In 1847 there were 2,130 Jews in the city, 50 years later 3,300; this was 72% of the population. During the First World War the total population decreased, but the proportion of Jews increased to 91% in 1931.
From autumn 1939 to summer 1941 Lyuboml belonged to the Soviet Union. Since a few Jewish residents had erected a welcome sign for the advancing Red Army , the withdrawing Polish division executed some citizens.
Under Soviet rule, the Jews were not specifically persecuted, but all independent organizations and activities were prohibited and no consideration was given to Jewish customs and habits.
After the attack on the Soviet Union, Ljuboml came back under German rule. The Jews were crammed into a ghetto in a very small space. They were forced to take the ancient Torah scrolls and books from the synagogue and burn them. On October 1, 1942, the Jews were shot in a mass action in a nearby forest.
Of Lyuboml's Jews, only 51 survived the Holocaust. The synagogue was damaged during the German occupation, but still preserved. It was completely dismantled by the Soviet authorities shortly after the war.
