Prazaroki

Prazaroki (Belarusian: Празарокі; Russian: Прозороки, romanized: Prozoroki; Lithuanian: Prozorokai; Polish: Prozoroki) is an agrotown in Hlybokaye District, Vitebsk Region, in northern Belarus.

It was a private town of various nobles, including the Kuncewicz, Rahoza and Tukowicz families.

Following the unsuccessful Polish November Uprising, the Tsarist authorities closed the Franciscan monastery in 1832.

[3] Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the town was first occupied by the Soviet Union until 1941, then by Nazi Germany until 1944, and re-occupied by the Soviet Union afterwards, which eventually annexed it from Poland in 1945.

Jews of the town were murdered in a mass execution perpetrated by an Einsatzgruppen.
