Iziaslav (Ukrainian: Ізя́слав IPA: [iˈzʲɑslɑw]) or Zaslav (Ukrainian: Заслав, IPA: [ˈzɑslɑw]) is one of the oldest cities in Volhynia. Situated on the Horyn river (Ukrainian: Горинь) in western Ukraine, the city dates back to the 11th century.
Izyaslav was part of the Russian Empire - Volhynian Governorate.
At the beginning of World War II, the town had an important Jewish population representing 28% of the total inhabitants. As soon as the Germans occupied the town, Jews were kept imprisoned in a ghetto. Jews were later murdered in mass executions perpetrated by an Einsatzgruppen.
