[Cz-L] Report on Jewish Cemeteries, Synagogues in Ukraine

Dear Friends:

Here is an excerpt from the latest e-mail issue of "Nu, What New?", a
genealogical newsletter from <www.avotaynu.com>:

About the United States Commission for the Preservation of America's
Heritage Abroad
The United States Commission for the Preservation of America's
Heritage Abroad is a government agency created in 1979 to preserve
Jewish cemeteries, monuments and other holy sites primarily in
Eastern and Central Europe. It has since expanded to be involved with
non-Jewish sites too. It sees its role as one to:
* identify and report on cemeteries, monuments, and historic
buildings in Eastern and Central Europe that are associated with the
heritage of U.S. citizens, particularly endangered properties
* get assurances from the governments of the region that the
properties will be protected and preserved.

Their latest report is "Jewish Cemeteries, Synagogues, and Mass Grave
Sites in Ukraine". It includes a list of synagogues, cemeteries, mass
graves, and Holocaust memorials that were surveyed in Ukraine (listed
alphabetically by oblast, then town). Contact individuals,
institutions and organizations are also included.

Their web site is at
<http://www.heritageabroad.gov>http://www.heritageabroad.gov.

If you download this report, you will find a great deal of
information on many sites of interest in the Ukraine, including some
of our favorites. Credit is given to group member Clifford Rees (my
cousin in New Mexico) for supplying information on sites in Sadagora
(Sadhora in the report). Go Cliff!

Best always,

Bruce
