-==History==
-===17th to 19th century===
-The first recorded mention of Zinkiv was in 1604. The city was greatly affected by the [[Khmelnytsky Uprising]], a [[Cossak]] rebellion between 1648 and 1657, which was accompanied by mass atrocities that destroyed the Jewish community in Zinkov. The city's importance grew during the 17th century [[Cossack Hetmanate]]. After the [[Polish–Cossack–Tatar War (1666–1671)|Polish–Cossack–Tatar War]] in the late 1660s, the city became an important fortification in the [[Poltava Regiment]].<ref name="Internet Encyclopedia of Ukraine">{{cite web |title=Zinkiv (Poltava oblast) |url=https://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages%5CZ%5CI%5CZinkivPoltavaoblast.htm |website=[[Internet Encyclopedia of Ukraine]] |publisher=[[Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies]] |access-date=24 May 2023 |archive-date=24 May 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230524195055/https://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages%5CZ%5CI%5CZinkivPoltavaoblast.htm |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="Yad Vashem">{{cite web |title=Zinkov |url=https://collections.yadvashem.org/en/untold-stories/community/14621912-Zinkov |website=[[Yad Vashem]] |access-date=24 May 2023 |archive-date=24 May 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230524202315/https://collections.yadvashem.org/en/untold-stories/community/14621912-Zinkov |url-status=live }}</ref>
-Jews had resettled in Zinkov by the early 18th century, but were murdered by the [[haidamaks]], anti-Polish Ukrainian insurgents, in 1734. The arrival of Polish rabbi [[Avraham Yehoshua Heshel]] and his son Yitzchak Meir in the second half of the 18th century reinvigorated the Jewish presence, and Zinkiv became a leading center of [[Hasidic Judaism]] in the [[Podolia]] area.<ref name="Yad Vashem" /> By the mid-18th century, [[Hetman of the Zaporizhian Host|Hetman]] [[Kirill Razumovski]] had been granted jurisdiction of the city by [[Empress of Russia|Empress]] [[Elizabeth of Russia]].<ref name="Internet Encyclopedia of Ukraine" />
-By the 19th century, Zinkiv had flourishing manufacturing and trading industries.<ref name="Internet Encyclopedia of Ukraine" /> In 1897, the city's population was 7,017, 53 percent of whom were Jews.<ref name="Yad Vashem" />
-===20th century===
-After the establishment of the [[Soviet Union]], a [[kolkhoz]] collective farm was established in the city. Many of the city's Jews, who comprised 35 percent of the population, worked as artisans and craftsmen in state-owned cooperatives.<ref name="Yad Vashem" />
-===World War II===
-At the outbreak of [[World War II]] in 1939, the city was home to 2,248 Jews.<ref name="Yad Vashem" />
-On June 22, 1941, [[Nazi Germany]] and many of its [[Axis powers|Axis]] allies invaded the Soviet Union as part of [[Operation Barbarossa]]. By July 10, the Nazis had occupied Zinkov. In August, the Nazis established a ''[[Judenrat]]'', an administrative body that would oversee affairs of the city's Jews and coordinate dealings with the Nazi authorities.<ref name="Yad Vashem" />
-One of the Judenrat's responsibilities was to coordinate the Jews' sequestration into a [[ghetto]], which in Zinkiv consisted only of a single house.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Berkhoff |first1=Karel |title=Basic Historical Narrative of the Babi Yar Holocaust Memorial Center |date=2018 |publisher=Babi Yar Holocaust Memorial Center |location=[[Kyiv]], Ukraine |pages=100 |url=https://babynyar.org/storage/main/e0/ce/e0ced2fd93bcb8a9abbdeb5df828416f12fdac9eaf096d2766b54c989e86e48b.pdf |access-date=2023-07-03 |archive-date=2023-03-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230325233820/https://babynyar.org/storage/main/e0/ce/e0ced2fd93bcb8a9abbdeb5df828416f12fdac9eaf096d2766b54c989e86e48b.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref> The Nazi authorities imposed a series of discriminatory measures against the Jewish population. Jews were also forced to pay ransoms and [[Nazi plunder|systematically dispossessed]] of their belongings and gold. Those over the age of 10 were required to wear a [[yellow badge]] on their chest and backs and were forbidden to walk on sidewalks. To humiliate the Jews, the Germans and their [[Ukrainian collaboration with Nazi Germany|Ukrainian collaborators]] cut the beards and ''[[payos]]'' of religious Jews, including the city's rabbi, in a practice reportedly called "taking the Jews to the barber."<ref name="Yad Vashem" />
-In 1942, the Nazis ramped up their killing operations against Zinkiv's Jews. On May 9, 1942, approximately 600 Jews, many infirm, elderly, and women with children, were shot to death and buried in a mass grave approximately 1.5 kilometers outside the city.<ref name="Yad Vashem" /><ref name="National Library of Israel">{{cite web |title=Pinchas Zinkiv |url=https://www.nli.org.il/en/books/NNL_ALEPH990020428790205171/NLI |website=[[National Library of Israel]] |access-date=9 June 2023 |archive-date=3 July 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230703041855/https://www.nli.org.il/en/books/NNL_ALEPH990020428790205171/NLI |url-status=live }}</ref> On August 4, an additional 1,882 Jews were shot to death at the same site.

-The Soviet [[Red Army]] liberated Zinkov in March 1944, ending the Nazi occupation of Zinkiv.<ref name="Yad Vashem" /> Only approximately 30 Jews in Zinkiv survived the war.<ref name="National Library of Israel" />
