Malyy Bychkiv

Jews probably settled in Malyy Bychkiv in the late 18th century.
By 1921, during the Czechoslovakian period, a number of Jews were engaged in agriculture, while others were involved in the trades and commerce.
With the Hungarian occupation of Malyy Bychkiv in March, 1939, Jews were persecuted and pushed out of their occupations. In 1940-41, Jews from Malyy Bychkiv were drafted into forced labor battalions and others were drafted for service on the Eastern front, where most died.
By 1941, Jewish families without Hungarian citizenship were expelled to Nazi occupied Ukrainian territory, to Kamenets-Podolski, and murdered there.
The remaining Jews of Malyy Bychkiv were deported to Auschwitz late May, 1944.
A great many of the Jews from Malyy Bychkiv were murdered in Auschwitz and any survivors settled elsewhere.
In 2001, Malyy Bychkiv had about 1,100 (est.) inhabitants and no Jews live there today.
