Tetyjów, as it was known in Polish, was granted Magdeburg town rights with a weekly market and two annual fairs by Polish King Sigismund III Vasa in 1606. administratively located in the Bracław County in the Bracław Voivodeship in the Lesser Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland. Tetiiv was first inhabited by Jews since the 17th century, with many members of the community dying in a massacre by Haydamaks in 1768. Despite this, Tetiiv continued to exist as a shtetl and held a 95% Jewish population in 1897. This was followed by a larger pogrom in March 1920, in which anti-Bolshevik insurgents went door to door destroying Jewish houses and killing civilians on sight, culminating in an arson attack on the synagogue while it housed 2,000 worshipers inside, followed by the gunning down of any survivors who tried to escape. An estimated 3,000-4,000 Jews died due to the Tetiyev pogroms and the remaining Jewish population completely fled the city, only returning a decade later. During World War II, the city was occupied by Nazi Germany from 1941 to 1944. ==Sights==
