Dzyatlava (Zdzięcioł in Polish, Zhetel in Yiddish) is a town in the Hrodna region (Belarus) whose Jewish community, attested since the seventeenth century, represented the majority of the population before 1941. The town is known notably as the birthplace of Alter Dvoretsky (1906–1942), founder of the Jewish Fighting Organization of Zhetel, who organized armed resistance before being killed. In August 1942, several thousand Jews were massacred during the liquidation of the ghetto.
