History
In 1708, the settlement was the location of the Battle of Malatitze during the Great Northern War.
Before World War II, it was a shtetl. The Germans occupied the city from 1941 to 1944.
In November 1941, as part of the Holocaust in Belarus, between 70 and 122 Jews were killed in Molyatichi. The Jews were shot with a bullet in the back. Some children were thrown alive in the grave. There were nine shooters: six Germans and three local policemen. One week after the shooting, the Germans organized an auction to sell the Jews' belongings.[5]
