History
Jewish history
Shklov was an important Jewish religious center. There was a yeshiva there in the 18th century. Shklov became the center of the Haskalah movement.[3] At the end of the 19th century, there were 5542 Jews in the town. During the Soviet times a dozen families worked in the Jewish kolkhoz Iskra. In 1939, only 2132 Jews remained in Shklov.
The Germans occupied the town on July 12, 1941.[4] The first execution of Jews took place just a few days into the occupation. The Germans shot 25 Jewish men in Lenin Park. At the end of July 1941, two ghettos were established in the neighboring village of Ryzhkovichi (now incorporated in Shklov). In August 1941, the Einsatzgruppen arrived in the town and gathered 84 Jews under the pretext of sending them to forced labor. In fact, they were taken to the village of Semyonovka and shot. In September 1941, the Jews were taken to a ravine in Khoduly, between the villages of Putniki and Zarechye. They had to undress and lie in the ditch before being shot. According to Soviet sources, 3,200 Jews were killed in Shklov and in the areas around.[5]
