History

The first known record of the Lyozna shtetl (small town with a high Jewish population) is dated 1654.

In 1939, 711 Jews lived in the settlement, making up 17.3 percent of the population.[3]

During the German invasion of the Soviet Union, the settlement was captured on 16 July 1941 by V Army Corps of the 9th Army; it was part of Army Group Centre Rear Area.[3] The ghetto in Lyozna was liquidated at the end of February 1942.[4] Lyozna remained under German military occupation until 8 October 1943.[5]
