The Rovno Ghetto (also: Równe or Rivne Ghetto, Yiddish: ראָװנע)[1][a] was a World War II Nazi ghetto established in December 1941 in the city of Rovno, western Ukraine, in the territory of German-administered Reichskommissariat Ukraine. On 6 November 1941, about 21,000 Jews were massacred by Einsatzgruppe C and their Ukrainian collaborators. The remaining Jews were imprisoned in the ghetto. In July 1942, the remaining 5,000 Jews were trucked to a stone quarry near Kostopol and murdered there.[1][2]
The ghetto was liquidated on July 13, 1942. Only a handful of Jews managed to escape deportation.
