Horokhiv

Horokhiv (Ukrainian: Горохів, IPA: [ɦoˈrɔxiu̯] ⓘ; Polish: Horochów; Yiddish: ארכעוו, romanized: Arkhev) is a small city in Volyn Oblast, in north-western Ukraine.

Polish politician and economist Walerian Stroynowski built a palace in the town.

From the Third Partition of Poland of 1795 until the Russian Revolution of 1917, it was part of Volhynian Governorate of the Russian Empire; from 1921 to 1939 it was part of Wołyń Voivodeship of Poland.

[2] Following the German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, it was occupied by the Soviet Union until 1941.

Its Jewish population, comprising over half the town’s inhabitants, was murdered en masse during The Holocaust.
