~ History ~

Jews probably settled in Kam'yans'ke in the first half of the 18th century.

In 1880, the Jewish population was 224.

With the Hungarian occupation of Kam'yans'ke in March, 1939, Jews were persecuted and pushed out of their occupations. In 1940-41, dozens of Jews from Kam'yans'ke were drafted into forced labor battalions and others were drafted for service on the Eastern front, where most died.

In 1941, a few Jewish families without Hungarian citizenship were expelled to Nazi occupied Ukrainian territory, to Kamenets-Podolski, and murdered there.

The remaining Jews of Kam'yans'ke were deported to Auschwitz late May, 1944.

A great many of the Jews from Kam'yans'ke were murdered in Auschwitz and any survivors settled elsewhere.

In 2001, Kam'yans'ke had about 1,482 inhabitants and no Jews live there today.
