Commemoration
This Jewish settlement was established in 1835. On November 10, 1920, during the Russian Civil War, General Bułak-Bałachowicz's troops carried out a pogrom in Sitnya, murdering eleven Jews. In the mid-1920s, some 200 local Jews worked in agriculture. The town had a Jewish school, with Yiddish as the language of instruction.
The Germans entered Sitnya in late August 1941, and shortly afterward all the town's Jews were shot in the nearby forest.
Sitnya was liberated by the Red Army in January 1944.
