This volume is a brief history of the Jewish community of
Volodymyr-Volynsky, going back to its first historical mentions. It
explores Jewish settlement in the city, the kahal, and the role of
the community in the Vaad Arba Aratsot, and profiles several
important historical figures, including Shelomoh of Karlin and
Khane-Rokhl Werbermacher (the Maiden of Ludmir). It also considers
the city's synagogues and Jewish cemetery, and explores the
twentieth-century history of the community, especially during the
Holocaust. Drawing on survivor eyewitness testimonies, the author
pays tribute to the town's Righteous among the Nations and
describes efforts to preserve the memory of its Jewish community,
including the creation of the Piatydni memorial, and lists
prominent Jews born in Volodymyr-Volynsky and natives of the city
living abroad. This book will be of interest to historians of the
Jewish communities and the Holocaust in Ukraine, as well as to the
general reader.
