history

The village was founded in 1615. King Sigismund III. granted the city a lot of autonomy and gave its merchants numerous privileges, and he also set up market days there. In 1726 Jakob Sobieski , son of King John III. Sobieski , the Jewish residents of Sasów various rights. In this way, all municipal institutions of the Jewish community were exempt from taxes. They were allowed to produce and sell alcohol, and their taxes were no higher than those of the rest of the townspeople. The Jews made candles and decorative strips for Tallit , for the production of which Sassiv was a world center. The best-known Jew in the market town was the founder of a Hasidim dynasty in Sasów, Rabbi Moshe Leib Erblich ( Sassow-Hasidim ).

Since 1776 the place under its Polish name Sasów was part of the Austrian crown land of Galicia and from 1867 belonged to the district administration Złoczów, after the end of the First World War it came to Poland in 1921 and was in the Tarnopol Voivodeship .

On September 17, 1939, the Red Army marched into Sassiv, which was administered by Soviet authorities until the German-Soviet War . The Wehrmacht occupied the village on July 2, 1941. During the first two weeks of the occupation, 22 leaders of the Jewish community were executed on the grounds that they were communists. There were three deportations; including the largest on July 15, 1942, when the Jews were deported to the Belzec extermination camp . The remaining 400 Jews were deported to Zloczów on November 25, 1942 . A labor camp established in March 1942 was disbanded in July 1943 and the Jews were shot in the nearby woods. With that, the Jewish community of Sassiv ceased to exist and was not re-established after the war.

During the Soviet occupation in 1940, the place was given the status of an urban-type settlement , but this was revoked in the 1950s after the decline of the place.
