In 1708, it is the location of the Battle of Malatitze during the Great Northern War.
Before World War II, it was a Shtetl. Germans occupied the city from 1941 to 1944.
In November 1941, between 70 and 122 Jews were killed in Molyatichi. The Jews were shot with a bullet in the back. Some children were thrown alive in the grave. There were nine shooters: six Germans and three local policemen. One week after the shooting, the Germans organized an auction to sell the Jews’ belongings.[1]
