Lozisht

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lozisht was a Jewish shtetl (village) located in what is now western Ukraine but which used to be a part of Poland and was called then Ignatowka.

It used to be a part of a joint community together with the neighbouring village, Trochenbrod (or Zofiówka). It was founded in 1838, and had grown to approximately 1200 inhabitants by the beginning of World War II. Of those, only a few survived. The village was totally destroyed and now only fields and a forest can be seen there.
