Pruzhany (in Belarusian Pruzhany, in Polish Prużana) is a city of western Polesie (Brest region, Belarus), whose Jewish community is attested from the 17th century onward and represented more than half the population before the Second World War. In January 1943, the approximately 10,000 Jews of the Pruzhany ghetto were deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau, where the vast majority were murdered upon arrival.
