Abstract

The article examined the Jewish national minority, cultural heritage in the Dzhuryn village, Vinnytsia region. At the end of the XVIII century a united and isolated Jewish population was formed on the territory of the village. During World War II, in this area was formed a ghetto. As a result, about three and a half thousand Jews from Bukovina, Romania, Khotyn, and neighboring Bessarabian towns were deported to Dzhuryn. In 1943, there were about 4,000 Jews in Dzhuryn ghetto, about a thousand of them were local. From the second half of the XX century the number of Jews in the village began to decline. The reason was moving to the city and emigrating. The study found that due to long-term residence in the area, the Jewish ethnic group significantly influenced the life of the region. This manifested itself in various spheres – material and spiritual culture and socio-economic processes.
