Sudylkiv (Ukrainian: Судилків) is a village in Shepetivka Raion in Khmelnytskyi Oblast in Ukraine. It hosts the administration of Sudylkiv rural hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[1]
History
The 1897 census reveals that out of a total population of 5,551 there were 2,712 Jews.[2] On August 20, 1941, the 45th reserve police battalion killed 471 Jews in a nearby forest.[3] Today, the formerly important Jewish community is nonexistent due to the Holocaust and emigration.
