On November 17, 1943, in an audacious action, a group of Jewish partisans from the Borshchev Ghetto in Eastern Galicia liberated approximately 50 prisoners in this town, including 20 Jews. The liberators were a group of young people that coalesced in the ghetto, acquired a small quantity of arms, and planned a resistance action. Several days before the ghetto was liquidated, the members of the group went into the nearby forests.
