This book is the translation of the Memorial (Yizkor) Book of the
town of Horodenka, Ukraine (Sefer Horodenka) The history of the
Jewish community of Horodenka in Eastern Galicia began in 1743.
Only in the eighteenth century did the Jews become a significant
part of the town. In the period of 1870 to 1927, the average
percentage of Jews in the town's population was between 33% and
40%. The rich Jewish culture that developed in the town is
described in this book. It all came to an end in June 1941, when
the Nazis invaded Russian territory; according to reliable evidence
about 3,000 adults and children were murdered in 1941 and 1942 in
three "Actions." Several young Jews escaped this fate by joining
the partisans in the forests on the other side of the Dniester
River. Thanks to their eye-witness accounts and the memoirs of
other residents who left before the war, we have this book which
provides a picture of the town, so that researchers and descendants
of emigrants from the town can learn of the history of this
once-thriving Jewish community that no longer exists. 558 pages,
8.5" by 11," hard cover, including all photos and other images Also
known as Gorodenka. Located at Latitude 48 40' and East Longitude
25 30'.
