Massacre at Kamenets-Podolsk

SS and police units killed 23,600 Jews in a mass shooting operation near Kamenets-Podolsk (Kam'ianets'-Podil's'kyi) in Axis-occupied Soviet Ukraine. Locally recruited auxiliaries helped perpetrate the massacre of Jewish men, women, and children. Two-thirds of the local Jewish community was killed. More than half of the victims were Jews who had been deported from Hungary (a Nazi ally) to Axis-occupied territory and then imprisoned in a ghetto in Kamenets-Podolsk.  

At the time, the massacre at Kamenets-Podolsk was the largest massacre of Jews that the Nazis had carried out in German-occupied Europe. The Nazis and their collaborators continued to massacre entire Jewish communities in mass shootings in Nazi-occupied Soviet territory. As many as two million Jews were murdered in similar mass shootings and massacres.
