Dorohoi lies in northern Moldavia, on the Jijia river near the Bukovina border. Jews lived here from the 17th century, and in 1899 the town had 6,804 Jews, 53.6 per cent of its population: a Hasidic town with 25 synagogues before the Holocaust. On 1 July 1940 Romanian army units carried out a pogrom here, and in November 1941 most of its Jews were deported to Transnistria; in December 1943 its survivors were the first to return.
