Haradzyeya

Haradzyeya (Belarusian: Гарадзея, romanized: Haradzieja;[a] Russian: Городея, romanized: Gorodeya; Polish: Horodziej; Lithuanian: Gorodėja) is an urban-type settlement in Nyasvizh District, Minsk Region, Belarus.

Initially, the village often changed owners, before it became the property of the powerful Radziwiłł family in 1575.

[4] Before World War II, the precise number of Jews living in Horodziej is not known, but it was probably somewhere between 700 and 1,000, the third of the total population.

Some Jews were transported in trucks, but most were marched on foot, to a small hill near the Christian cemetery, where a pit had been dug.

[5] Earlier, in June 1942, local Polish parish priest Józef Gogoliński was arrested and imprisoned in nearby Nieśwież.
