Re: [Cz-L] Ukraine's Vanquished Jews - Daunting struggle to preserve Jewish heritage

Hardy is right.
Halycnia, or more correctly Halicz, is another name for Galicia.
 From 1775 till 1786, for 11 years, the Austrian government
included Czernowitz in the kingdom of Galicia.
Then it was again part of Galicia for one year, from 1860 till 1861.
When it was reinstated as a separate province in 1861, this was done
because the local population, so desired it.

In the 19th century, in Lviv and surrounding area the majority of the
population was Polish.
In Czernowitz and vicinity, Poles were a small minority.
