Podwoloczyska was captured by the Germans in July 1941. About 70 Jews were put to death immediately The Germans imposed severe economic restrictions. Several streets were marked off by barbed wire and the Germans established an extension of the Kamionki forced labour camp. Young Jews were taken to the forced labour camp and many died from overwork, disease, and torture. In September 1942 a part of the camp population was transferred to Zbaraz and Kamionki and were later killed. The Podwoloczyska labour camp was liquidated on June 29, 1943.
