~ History ~

Jews probably settled in Medvedivtsi in the mid-18th century.

In 1880, the Jewish population was 13.

With the Hungarian occupation of Medvedivtsi in March, 1939, Jews were persecuted and pushed out of their occupations. In 1940-41, dozens of Jews from Medvedivtsi 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 Medvedivtsi were deported to Auschwitz late May, 1944.

A great many of the Jews from Medvedivtsi were murdered in Auschwitz and any survivors settled elsewhere.

In 2001, Medvedivtsi had about 470 inhabitants and no Jews live there today.
