Vinnytsia region, Tulchyn district, Chechelnyk. In the fall of 1941, over a thousand Jews deported from Bessarabia and Bukovina arrived in Chechelnyk. Hunger, typhus, and other infectious diseases raged in the overpopulated ghetto, causing the death of about half of the deportees. In early 1942, several hundred Jews from Bessarabia and Bukovina were burned alive in a wooden building of a former Old Believer monastery in a forest near the village of Kurenivka, Chechelnyk district (the stone ruins of the monastery church were dismantled after the war).
