As a result of the Tehran Conference and Yalta Conference , the Polish territories that had been occupied by the Soviet Union in 1939 were permanently annexed by the Soviet Union upon the conclusion of the Second World War . Lakhva and its surrounding region were located east of the Curzon Line , which largely formed the new border between new communist Polish state and the Soviet Union . As such , the town was incorporated into the Byelorussian SSR . The survivors of the Lakhva ghetto did not return to the town , settling in Israel and other countries instead . At present , there are few , if any , Jewish inhabitants in Lakhva , although a small memorial to the 1942 Jewish uprising was erected in 1994
