Historical Background

Jews settled in Kolomyia as early as the turn of the sixteenth century. The Jewish population of the town grew considerably in the nineteenth, reaching 12,002 in 1880, totaling more than half of the town’s population. Jews were involved in most aspects of trade and industry. The Jewish population suffered during the Russian occupation during World War I. In 1919, the town came under Polish controlled and remained that way until 1939.

During the interwar period, economic conditions deteriorated for the roughly 15,000 Jews living in the town. The town was occupied by the Soviets in 1939. German and Hungarian forces quickly conquered the town in the summer of 1941. Most of Kolomyia’s Jews were murdered by February 1943 in the forest outside the city or in Bełżec. At the end of the war, only 200 Jews from Kolomyia survived.
