history

From 1746 to 1795 the city was the seat of a Metropolitan of the Uniate Church ( Union of Florence ).

In 1919 there were serious riots against the Jewish population with several hundred dead.

The synagogue was damaged in a city fire in 1926 and demolished in the 1930s.

During the Second World War Radomyschl was occupied by the German Wehrmacht from July 9, 1941 to November 10, 1943 and then again from December 7 to 26, 1943 . In August 1941 the German occupation set up a ghetto for Jews. On August 5 and 6, 1941, 276 Jews were murdered in two mass executions. When the ghetto was liquidated on September 6, 1941, the German Sonderkommando 4a, together with Ukrainian auxiliary police officers, shot 1,107 Jewish adults and 561 Jewish children in a forest. Six mass graves were later found in the area. In 1970 there were only about 250 Jews left in Radomyschl and the surrounding area.
