Syaliba

Syaliba or Seliba (Belarusian: Сяліба, romanized: Sialiba;[2] Russian: Селиба;[3] Polish: Sieliba)[4] is a village in Babruysk District, Mogilev Region, Belarus.

During the administration of Imperial Russia, Seliba was under jurisdiction of the Igumensky Uyezd in the Minsk Governorate.

[6] Seliba was a settlement home to many Jewish families during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

During the period of the Democratic Republic, soldiers from interwar Poland beat and killed several Jewish residents of the village, and looted and burned property there.

[8] A Yizkor book, Der ḥurbm fun mayn shṭeṭl un ire ḳdoyshim, memorializes the village along with the town of Zalin.
