The town, half Jewish, plundered and ransomed several times
Dounaïvtsi, a cloth-making town in western Podolia, had a large Jewish population engaged in weaving and the textile trade. The town was looted on several occasions by successive detachments moving through the province, and ransomed between plunderings. The workshops were stripped of their looms and their archival items, the houses searched. The community, which lived by a craft rather than the land, was ruined by the loss of its tools as much as by the loss of its possessions.
