The fate of this province was disputed between Poland and Ukraine, until the Peace of Riga in 1921 but is today located in the Ukraine.
During World War II, the Jewish population of Horodenka, comprising about half of the town's population, were shot and killed in a mass grave by the Nazis. About a dozen Jews survived and formed a partisan combat unit which fought against the Nazis and hid in the forests.
There is a synagogue in Salford, England named in honour of this community.
