Koltiv (Ukrainian: Колтів, Polish: Kołtów) is a village in the Zolochiv urban hromada of the Zolochiv Raion of Lviv Oblast in Ukraine.[1]
History
The first written mention of the village was in 1467.[2]
A large brick manor house was built in 1780 by Maciej Starzeński. The building was burned down towards the end of World War I.[3]
In the Second Polish Republic, the village was the seat of the rural municipality of Kołtów in the Złoczów County of the Tarnopol Voivodeship.
During the Nazi German occupation, a Polish resident of the village, Maria Żurawska, hid Jewish individuals. In 2013, the Yad Vashem posthumously honored her with the title of Righteous Among the Nations.[4]
Between 1943 and 1944, Ukrainian nationalists from the OUN-UPA murdered 71 Poles here as a part of Volhynia genocide. Two of the three attacks on the village took place on December 24, 1943, and December 24, 1944, coinciding with Christmas Eve.[5] On 19 July 2020, as a result of the administrative-territorial reform and liquidation of the Zolochiv Raion, the village became part of the Zolochiv Raion.[6]
