History
Juraciszki was a private possession of the Kopeć, Kościałkowski and Rodkiewicz noble families within the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.[3]
Juraciszki, as it was known in Polish, was administratively located in the Wołożyn County in the Nowogródek Voivodeship of interwar Poland. According to the 1921 census, the population was 74.9% Polish, 12.8% Belarusian and 12.3% Jewish.[4]
During World War II, the town was first occupied by the Soviet Union until 1941, then by Nazi Germany until 1944, and re-occupied by the Soviet Union afterwards. The local Polish police chief was murdered by the Russians in the Katyn massacre in 1940.[5][6]
