History
Tetiiv was first inhabited by Jews since the 17th century, with many members of the community dying in a massacre by Haydamaks in 1768. Despite this, Tetiiv continued to exist as a shtetl and held a 95% Jewish population in 1897.
In August 1919, Cossacks from the White Army ransacked the city, killing dozens of Jews. This was followed by a larger pogrom in March 1920, in which anti-Bolshevik insurgents went door to door destroying Jewish houses and killing civilians on sight, culminating in an arson attack on the synagogue while it housed 2,000 worshipers inside, followed by the gunning down of any survivors who tried to escape.
An estimated 3,000-4,000 Jews died due to the Tetiyev pogroms and the remaining Jewish population completely fled the city, only returning a decade later.
A significant diaspora from Tetiyev immigrated to Cleveland, Ohio, where they established the Oheb Zedek-Cedar Sinai Synagogue.
The city was occupied by Nazi Germany from 1941-1944.
