About
About Makiivka
Makiivka, formerly Dmytriivsk (Ukrainian: Дмитріївськ) until 1931, is an industrial city in Donetsk Oblast, eastern Ukraine, located 15 kilometers (9.3 mi) east from Donetsk. The two cities are practically a conurbation.
Former names: Dmytriivsk, Dmytriyevskyi. Makiivka and Donetsk are practically a conurbation. In 1939, the Jewish population of Makiivka was 8,000. Nazis emptied the town of its Jewish population, and executed 369 Jews here. In 2006, a new synagogue was consecrated in Makiivka after almost 70 years. The house at 51 Lva Tolstogo street serves as a synagogue and as a community center for the Jewish community of Makiivka's 2,000 members.
