German Takeover

This map takes you back to 1941-42 when German forces took over the town of Tuchyn in what is now Ukraine. Tuchyn’s Jewish residents experienced discrimination and violence under German occupation.

Explore the map's locations and learn about what the Germans did when they took over the town.

“It was precious to us, we were born there, studied, and spent our childhood days there… Sometimes you stand and ask yourself: Is it true? Did all of this happen in the progressive world of the twentieth century?”

Yitzchak Gilberg, a Jewish resident of Tuchyn

This map contains approximate locations, based on a map Tuchyn survivors created, and the research of Jared McBride, Stanislav Demianchuk, and Sarah Maske.
