Andrushevka

Community

Andrushevka

Ukraine (USSR)

Jews appear to have first settled in Andrushevka in the early 18th century. In 1897, the town was home to 430 Jews, who made up sixteen percent of the total population. Before World War I, the Jewish community of Andrushevka played a major role in the local commerce. Most of the shops in the town were owned by Jews, as were a local pharmacy and turpentine factory. In 1939, there were 658 Jewish residents in Andrushevka, making up ten percent of the total population. Andrushevka was occupied by German troops on July 16, 1941. The local Jews, along with a number of Jewish refugees from elsewhere, were shot...

Murder story of Andrushevka Jews in the Andrushevka Forest

Murder Site

Andrushevka Forest

Ukraine (USSR)

The Jewish survivors of the first massacre – mostly women, children, and elderly people – were apparently murdered in April 1942, although some testimonies date the second murder operation to May or early June 1942. The Jews were taken from the ghetto to the shooting site in the forest near the village of Andrushevka, with the sick and the elderly being transported in carts. They were shot there. According to some sources, the mothers were first ordered to put their children in the pit, stacking them one atop the other, and then to lie down on top of them. The total number of victims is estimated at over 250.

Andrushevka - Commemoration of Jewish Victims

Commemoration

By the early 1960s, Jewish survivors from Andrushevka, who had returned to the village after spending the war in the Soviet interior, had apparently managed to erect tombs over the Jewish mass graves, fence them off, and put up inscriptions with the names of some of the victims. By the early 2000s, some former Jewish residents of Andrushevka, including the Balshins family, had apparently begun to search for the names of the other victims. Thanks to their efforts, which were supported by the local authorities and some local businesses, several memorial boards with a list of the victims' names were set up at the...
