Following the German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, it was initially occupied by the Soviet Union, then by Nazi Germany from 1941, and then once again by the Soviets from 1944.

In summer 1942, local Jews were murdered in mass executions perpetrated by an Einsatzgruppen of gendarmes and Ukrainian Auxiliary Police;[2] 70 to 80 people were massacred.

On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Holovne became a rural settlement.
