[Cz-L] Neuzuczka

Hi Renee - Thanks so much for the summary of responses. I found the
reference which mentioned Neuzuczka as one of the sixteen communities
of the Sadagora district, and it is repeated below:

*****
To the Jewish cultural center of Sadagura there belonged another 16
communities in which Jews lived. These represented the provinces for
which Sadagura was the seat, and also the Austrian policies by which
the smaller communities of indigenous Jews were, as far as religion
was concerned, under a greater cultural organization. The names of
the 16 communities were Rohozna, Neu-Zuczka, Alt-Zuczka,
Cameral-Lenkoutz, Privat-Lenkoutz, Bila, Buda, Unter-Szeroutz,
Ober-Szeroutz, Szubranetz, Zadobrowka, Waschkoutz, Czernawka,
Rarancze, Toporoutz, and Dobronoutz. The Jews of all these
communities proudly considered themselves belonging to the Sadagura
Jews, to their Kultusgemeinde [community leadership], their city
rabbi, and their wonder rabbi of the Ruzhiner dynasty. At last, after
"120 years," Sadagura was the only Jewish burial site for the
communities, a place made sacred by the graves of the Ruzhiner wonder
rabbis, a famous maggid (wandering preacher), and the Sadaguran city
rabbis of the Landau family. . . . The communities around Sadagura of
Rohozna (Baranowka), Neu-Zuczka, and Unter-Szeroutz (Slobodka),
formed a single complex; the borders were erased over time.
