In September 1939, Lyubcha was occupied by the Red Army and, on 14 November 1939, incorporated into the Byelorussian SSR.

From 26 June 1941 until 8 July 1944, Lyubcha was occupied by Nazi Germany and administered as a part of the Generalbezirk Weißruthenien of Reichskommissariat Ostland.

A short time after their arrival, the Germans selected 50 Jewish men and brought them to Novogrudok, where they were shot.

Later, three members of the Judenrat and Jewish police were shot by the Germans under the pretext of bad hygienic conditions inside the ghetto.

Although the fate of the remaining Jews is not completely clear, it seems that a group was sent to the Novogrudok ghetto, where they were later shot in August 1942.
