Vyazovoye

Since the Dubovyasovskiy County had lain outside the Pale of Settlement prior to the Russian Revolution of 1917, the village of Vyazove was home to relatively few Jews, compared to other parts of the Sumy District.

Following the German invasion of the USSR on June 22, 1941, a large number of civilian evacuees, including many Jews from the western regions of Ukraine and Belarus, arrived in the Sumy District.

The Wehrmacht occupied Vyazove on September 11, 1941.

In October that year, the SS murdered twenty-six civilians, including a Jewish family of five, in the village area.

The Red Army liberated Vyazove on October 14, 1943.
