Kamin-Kashyrskyi (Ukrainian: Камінь-Каширський, IPA: [ˈkɑminʲ kɐˈʃɪrsʲkɪj] ⓘ) is a city in Volyn Oblast, in north-western Ukraine.

When the last of the Sangushki-Koshersky family, Adam-Olexandr, died without male heirs, the Krasytskyi, the new owners of Kamen, began to call it Kamen-Koshirsky to distinguish it from other settlements with that name.

The area has been historically a mix of Polish, Belarusians and Ukrainian peoples for more than a millennium.

[3] In 1795, as a result of the Third Partition of Poland, the town was annexed by the Russian Empire, within which it was administratively located in the Volhynian Governorate.

The Encyclopaedia Judaica comments: "Kamen-Kashirskiy, a small town in Poland, the county of Polesia.

Just prior to the outbreak of World War II on September 1, 1939, it is estimated that more than 2,000 Jewish people lived in the town.

Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland it was initially occupied by the Soviet Union, then by Nazi Germany from 1941.

On August 22, 1941, a detachment of the Security Police subordinated to Einsatzgruppe C arrested all Jewish males aged between 16 and 60.
