A new website to tell about the Jewish heritage of Western Halychyna - фото 1
After almost three decades of research and training in Poland, Director of the Institute for Holocaust research and documentation Meir Shilo presented a new website with descriptions of Jewish monuments in Western Halychyna.

For generations, there were Jewish communities that lived in Halychyna for a long time, were physically destroyed during the Holocaust. They were also erased from historical memory.

Meir Shil's travels through small towns in Western Halychyna (now Poland) allowed him to document the remains of synagogues, public buildings, cemeteries, and mass graves.

This rich material, including hundreds of photos and maps, is now available on the Massa le-Galicia website.
