History

World War II

Around 780 Jews lived in Byalynichy at the eve of World War II. [2] They composed about 24 percent of the total population. [2] The Jews were mainly traders.

Byalynichy was under German military occupation from 6 July 1941 until 29 June 1944. [2] 150 Jewish men were killed during an Aktion in September 1941. [3] [4] The remaining Jews, together with Jewish families from nearby settlements in the district, were resettled in a ghetto in the town. [4]

On 12 December 1941, the Germans liquidated the ghetto, with the German Security Police and local Belarusian police gathering the remaining 600 Jews. [4] Those Jews, who were mainly women, children and the elderly, were escorted to the woods and shot in pits that were dug in advance. [4]

The Red Army liberated Byalynichy on 29 June 1944.

Later history

In 2016, Byalynichy received the status of town of district subordination (previously it was an urban-type settlement). [5]
