Bogdanovka was a concentration camp for Jews that was established by the Romanian authorities during World War II as part of the Holocaust.
The camp was near Bug river, in Golta district, Transnistria and held 54,000 people by the end of 1941. After a typhus outbreak in December 1941, 40,000 Jews were killed in 4 days. Romanian and Ukrainian police, civilians, and soldiers massacred Jews, who were forced to dig pits in the ground with their hands and pack them with corpses of their fellow inmates, shot or burned alive in barns.
