 After Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union in June 1941, the new German administration established a Nazi ghetto at Trochenbrod, confining there also Jews from nearby villages and towns.The Ghetto was liquidated in August and September 1942 in a series of massacres by Order Police battalions.Most of the Jews of Trochenbrod as well as of the neighbouring village Lozisht (Ignatówka in Polish) were murdered by the local collaborators, consisting mostly of the Ukrainian Auxiliary Police who rounded up the prisoners in the presence of only a few German SS men.
