Koriukivka massacre

Mass murder of Ukrainians by Nazi Germany

The Koriukivka massacre was a war crime against 6,700 residents of Koriukivka on 1–2 March 1943 by the SS forces of Nazi Germany and the Royal Hungarian Army. 1,290 houses in Koriukivka were burned down and only ten brick buildings and a church survived. The residents of neighboring localities were intimidated and refused to help the Koriukivka residents. On 9 March, the Germans returned to Koriukivka and burned alive some elderly people who had returned to the village after escaping thinking it was safe.
