[1] Yarmolyntsi was occupied by the Nazis on 8 July 1941 during World War II.

Jews were required to wear Stars of David on their chests and backs and were often abused, some being hanged from trees.

In late October 1942, Jews from Yarmolyntsi and surrounding towns were taken to the former military barracks.

Several days later, they were forced to dig their own graves before being systematically shot to death.

During the massacre, a group of Jews put up armed resistance and killed a number of Germans and Ukrainian auxiliary policemen.
