Josif Giel established a wool and flannel factory here in 1827;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eit was soon joined by other factories, including 14 leather tanneries and 8 leather works. By the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eend of the 19th century, Krynki had about 5,000 inhabitants, 88-90% Jewish. The community had five\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esynagogues, two Hasidic prayer houses, over a dozen cheders, a yeshiva, a hospital and nursery, and social\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand aid organizations such as Linas Hatzedek and Bikkur Cholim.

In December 1941, a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eghetto was set up where the entire Jewish population, as well as Jews from nearby areas, were forced to live.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLiquidation of the ghetto began in October 1942; 5,000 Jews were deported to the camp in Kolbassino.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome resisted, firing stolen rifles and revolvers; several escaped to the forest.
