Jews have been an important component of multicultural society on the territory of Belarus for many centuries (see Appendix 1 showing the ethnic makeup of Belarus in 1897).At the beginning of the 20 th century, they were also becoming increasingly involved in politics, forming several specifi cally Jewish parties and becoming members of many other emerging political parties in the Russian empire.After the Bolshevik revolution, they continued to play an important role in the development of Belarusian culture and science.According to data from the Jewish Community in Belarus, 407,000 Jews lived on Belarusian territory in 1926 (Evreiskaia obschina v Resublike Belarus ', 2004).The 1939 Soviet census recorded 375,092 Jews living on the territory of Soviet Belarus before its unifi cation with Western Belarus (Vsesoiuznaia perepis' naseleniia 1939).A Polish census from 1931 reported that 283,300 Jews were living in Western Belarus, then part of Poland (Katljarchuk 2013, p. 13).Overall, around 658,400 Jews inhabited Soviet Belarusian territories by June 1941 when Nazi Germany attacked the Soviet Union.Later, this fi gure would increase by thousands, as up to 820,000 Jewish migrants from occupied Poland poured over the border (Katljarchuk 2013, p. 13).The vast majority of them were killed during 1941 -1945 as a result of the Holocaust.No more than 10 -12% of the Jewish population in Western Belarus and 50% in Central or Eastern Belarus survived World War II; overall, approximately 800,000 Jews were liquidated on the territory of occupied Belarus (Rudling 2013b, p. 121).In fact, the USSR census of 1959 stated that only 150,084 Jews were living in Belarus at that time (Vsesoiuznaia perepis' naseleniia 1959
