Torgovitsa is a village of Novoarkhangelsk district, Kirovograd region.
Before the Revolution it was a shtetl of Uman uyezd, Kiev province.
I could find very little information about Jews from Torgovitsa 🙁
We visited Torgovitsa in 2017 and made few photos of Holocaust mass grave and remains of Jewish cemetery.
According to 1897 census, 1299 Jews lived there (35% of total population).
Before the revolution Jews lived mainly in Novaya street which was up to the Market square.
There were no pre-revolutionary buildings in the village.
Volko Solomonovich Golberg was a teacher in the village before the war. He had daughter Betia and son Yosef.
Shmil (unknown surname) was a worker in the collective farm.
All Jews of Torgovitsa were exterminated during the Holocaust…
aWhen the Jews were driven to the execution, Katerina Aksentyevna Puchkova (1898 – 1976) saved Jew Yakov Gorbatov. All his family was shot. He survived and lived in Kiev after the war.
After the war, relatives of the Jews who had been murdered erected a monument on the place of the shooting.
