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.^[1]

In August 1919, Cossacks from the White Army ransacked the city, killing dozens of Jews.^[6] This was followed by a larger pogrom in March 1920, in which anti-Bolshevik insurgents^[7] 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,^[8] followed by the gunning down of any survivors who tried to escape.^[9]

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.^[1][10][6]
