Chortkov Chassidut founded in the city of Chortkov (now in Ukraine) by Rabbi David Moshe Friedman, son of Rabbi Yisrael Friedman of Rozin - a branch of the Rozin Chassidut family that was one of the largest Chatzer in Eastern Europe until the beginning of the 20th century. When the city was occupied by the Germans on July 6, 1941, they began committing murders against Jews. At the beginning of April 1942, the Jews of the city and its surroundings were concentrated in a crowded ghetto established there, where many of them died as a result of the difficult living conditions. Of the city's approximately 6,000 Jews, only about 100 survived the Holocaust. The Hasidut continued to exist until the death of the last Rebbe in 1958. Today it remains a memorial in the form of small synagogues in the Mea Shearim neighborhood of Jerusalem, Safed, Manchester, Antwerp and London.
