Dukora

Jews apparently began living in Dukora in the first quarter of the 18th century. In the early Soviet period 501 Jews lived in the town. In the mid-1920s several Jewish families established a kolkhoz there. A Yiddish elementary school operated in Dukora. Dukora was occupied by the Germans at the end of June 1941. In August a ghetto was set up there. All of Dukora's Jews were murdered in October 1941. Dukora was liberated by the Red Army, apparently in July 1944.
