History
Jews began to settle in Kupin in the 18th century. In 1897 1,351 Jews were living in the town. In 1905, Cossacks carried out a pogrom, during which they looted property and murdered several Jews. On March 6, 1919, during the Russian civil war, the Jews suffered from pogroms. In 1926 37 percent of a total population were Jewish inhabitants. The Germans occupied Kupin in July 1941. In September 1942, Einsatzgruppen of the Ukrainian auxiliary police murdered about 300 Jews in a mass execution on the outskirts of the town near the Jewish cemetery. The town was liberated by the Red Army in March 1944.[1]
