Following the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union in September 1939, Zofiówka (town's former Polish name) was incorporated into Soviet Ukraine and renamed Sofievka (). Two years later, at the start of Operation Barbarossa in 1941, it became part of the Reichskommissariat Ukraine under a new Germanized name Trochenbrod. Trochenbrod was completely eradicated in the course of German occupation and the ensuing Holocaust.
