History edit

Budsław was founded in 1504 and granted to the Bernardines from Vilnius by King Alexander Jagiellon.[2] The Bernardines first erected a chapel, then a wooden church in 1589, and then a brick church in 1643–1645.[2] Town rights were confirmed by King Augustus II the Strong.[2] It was administratively located in the Oszmiana County in the Vilnius Voivodeship of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.

Following the Second Partition of Poland (1793), it was annexed by the Russian Empire, within which it belonged to the Vilna Governorate. In the interbellum, it was part of reborn Poland, within which it was located in the Wilno Voivodeship. According to the 1921 Polish census, the population was 88.2% Polish, 7.2% Belarusian, and 4.6% Jewish.[3]

Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the village was occupied by the Soviet Union until 1941, then by Germany until 1944. The Germans subjected all Jews over the age of 12 to forced labour, and carried out three massacres of Jews, and some Poles and Belarusians.[4] In 1944 it was re-occupied by the Soviet Union, which annexed it from Poland in 1945.
