Korzec (Korets in Hebrew) was a notable Hasidic center thanks to Rabbi Pinhas of Koretz, one of the direct disciples of the Baal Shem Tov, who taught there in the 18th century. The Jewish community of Volhynia was ancient and influential there. During the Holocaust, it was massacred; a large number of Jews were killed in actions carried out by the Nazis in 1942.
