A Jewish presence developed from ~1769, and in 1775 the Council of Four Lands permitted an independent community, which built a wooden synagogue and cemetery; Jews numbered 506 (≈64%) in 1827 and 1,308 (64.6%) in 1921. The community was destroyed in the Holocaust and never reconstituted. <small>Sources: Wikipedia — Żółkiewka, JewishGen KehilaLinks — Zolkiewka, Virtual Shtetl — Żółkiewka</small> ## People with events
