It explores Jewish settlement in the city, the kahal, and the role of the community in the Va’ad 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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Volodymyr Muzychenko . . . committed the last ten years of his life to gathering historical data on the Jews of his city and the region. His work is thus the first and fullest narrative to date about the Jews of Volodymyr-Volynsky. . . . The book is noteworthy for its balanced material and the author’s desire to avoid a purely lamentational type of exposition. Instead, he sought to show Jewish history as a variegated process marked by both tragic and distinguished pages.” -- Vitalii Chernoivanenko, National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy (Kyiv, Ukraine)\u003cbr\u003e\"[A] finely tuned scholarly work that mines Ukrainian and Russian archives for materials previously unavailable to American scholars.\" -- Rosie Rosenzweig, Resident Scholar, Brandeis University, Women's Studies Research Center * Examiner.com *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Illustrations\u003cp\u003e How the English Edition Happened, by Harvey Budner\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Introduction, by Antony Polonsky\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Author’s Note\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Foreword\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The History of the Jews of Volodymyr-Volynsky\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Introduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e First Mentions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Privileges\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The Kahal\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The Organization of Jewish Settlement, Fourteenth–Sixteenth Centuries\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Economic Conditions of the Community, Fourteenth–Sixteenth Centuries\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Va‘ad Arba Aratsot\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Spiritual Leaders\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Shelomoh of Karlin (Karliner)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Khane-Rokhl Werbermacher\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The Synagogue\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The Jewish Cemetery\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The Life of the Jewish Community in the Twentieth Century\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The Tragedy of the Jews of Volodymyr-Volynsky\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e From the Killing Fields: The Reminiscences of Zippora\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Weinstock-Zaar\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The Reminiscences of Yaacov Harari (Berger)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The Reminiscences of Debora Interieur\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The Memoirs of Ann Kazimirski\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Moshe Krigser Recalls\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The Reminiscences of Volodymyr Oksentiiovych Patuta\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Oflag “Nord 365”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The Catastrophe That Befell the Jews of Volodymyr-Volynsky District\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Moshe Margalit Recalls\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Mykhail (Motl) Bass’s Account\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Righteous among the Nations\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Kateryna Petrivna Lipińska\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Maria Otsaliuk’s Account\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Franciszek and Hanna Strojvons\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Bronisława Ziental and Her Daughter Irena Yakira\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The Accounts of Liudmyla Stepanivna Yevtoshuk and Halyna Zinoviivna Nazaruk\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Oleksandr and Solomeia Diachuk\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Jewish Natives of the Volodymyr-Volynsky Area Abroad\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Memorial in the Village of Piatydni\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Safeguarding Memory\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Prominent Jews Born in Volodymyr-Volynsky\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Addenda\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Glossary of Terms\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Bibliography\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Index\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Academic Studies Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51359749210455,"sku":"9781618114129","price":66.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781618114129.jpg?v=1754125590","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/jewish-ludmir-the-history-and-tragedy-of-the-jewish-community-of-volodymyr-volynsky-a-regional-history-9781618114129","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
