History

The first known record of the Lyozna shtetl (small town with a high Jewish population) is dated 1654.

In 1939, 711 Jews lived in the settlement, making up 17.3 percent of the population.

During the German invasion of the Soviet Union, the settlement was captured on 16 July 1941 by V Army Corps of the 9th Army; it was part of Army Group Centre Rear Area. The ghetto in Lyozna was liquidated at the end of February 1942. Lyozna remained under German military occupation until 8 October 1943.
