Memory register · custodian, not owner
Pinsk, a city in Polesia now in Belarus, was an important center of Yiddish-speaking Jewish life, where Jews formed for a long time a major part of the population. A center for the trade in timber and agricultural products transported via waterways, the community housed synagogues, houses of study, Hassidic movements, and, in the modern era, an active Zionist and socialist life. Several figures of Zionism and Israeli public life originated there. Under German occupation, the community was confined to a ghetto and massacred by the Einsatzgruppen in 1941–1942.
