Vitsebsk (Vitebsk) is a city in northern Belarus on the Western Dvina, whose Jewish community is attested from the 16th century onward and reached several tens of thousands of persons in the early 20th century. The city is the birthplace of the painter Marc Chagall (1887–1985), who spent his childhood and formative years there, and whose work reflects the universe of the Belarusian Jewish shtetl. In October 1941, the German occupation forces massacred virtually the entire remaining Jewish population.
