Skidel

Skidel

Skidel is a Belarusian village that is located 31 kilometers from Grodno. The village is sometimes referred to as a shtetl due to the high volume of Jewish people living there before the Holocaust. During the Soviet invasion of Poland (1939) the village, then part of the Second Polish Republic, was the site of one of the largest communist revolts against the Polish government; the event is sometimes referred to as the 'Skidel uprising'. The Grodno headquarters of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union was located in Skidel until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.
