Tulchyn

Tulchyn (Ukrainian: Тульчин, IPA: [tʊlʲˈtʃɪn] ⓘ; Latin: Tulcinum; Polish: Tulczyn; Russian: Тульчин, romanized: Tulchin; Yiddish: טולטשין; Romanian: Tulcin) is a city in Vinnytsia Oblast (province) of western Ukraine, in the historical region of Podolia.

[citation needed] During World War II, Nazi Germany invaded and occupied all of Vinnytsia Oblast by the end of July 1941.

A large section of the region, including Tulchyn, was handed over by the Nazis to Romania, who administrated it as Transnistria Governorate.

After first being confined to a ghetto, Jews from Tulchyn were deported to the nearby Pechora concentration camp where they were killed.

[5] An important landmark of the city is the palace of the Potocki family, built according to the principles of Palladian architecture according to the plans drafted by Joseph Lacroix during the 1780s.
