With this issue of The Galitzianer, the Special Interest Group (SIG), is officially launched. George Bodner had the "winning" entry for the name of the SIG: Gesher Galicia, or Bridge to Galicia. As of the end of September, we have an international membership of over 100 people. I have long felt that a SIG might help to facilitate the process of obtaining vital records from Poland and Ukraine. Then, too, I noted that many people who wrote to me about Galicia were not submitting their surnames and towns to Gary Mokotoff for inclusion in the Jewish Family Finder. Why, I wondered. I still wonder, but now we will have our own SIG directory of names and places and perhaps this will facilitate connections in a way that has not been possible up to this point. Most people who have joined are interested in traveling to southeast Poland or western Ukraine or both. We need a travel coordinator and some members to serve on a travel committee. If you are willing to serve in either capacity, please write or call me at 301/657-3389. Although a number of members, including me, have been to Poland and/or Ukraine and our collective experience will be somewhat helpful, there is a great deal of work involved in mounting even a small group trip and many decisions that will have to be made. It is not to early to begin planning for a 1995 trip that comes before or after the Summer Seminar in Washington. The most complex aspects of the planning will be arranging for access to vital records and travel to particular towns with guides and pre-arranged transportation. I have acquired a number of travel guides that can be of some help, but we must begin the 2 The Galician Gazeteer Vol. 1 No. 1 Fall 1993 process of making initial contacts with people and institutions who can pave the way. In Toronto, Bea Cohen volunteered to compile and maintain a directory of the names and towns being researched by members and we enclose the first edition with this newsletter. We have decided to call this directory "The Gesher Galicia Finder". In the first year, we plan to issue periodic updates with each of our quarterly newsletters because this will likely be a major year for growth. In a year we will publish a compilation of the first year's directory and then re-evaluate how often we need to publish interim updates. Bea and I had to make some decisions about about how your towns should be spelled for purposes of this directory. Though not everyone is happy with our decision, we settled on using Where Once We Walked, based as it is on the spelling used by the Board of Geographic Names. While this will provide a standard, the spelling may not have been exactly as you submitted it. Bea has printed out a list of towns as you spelled them cross referenced with the current spelling. Almost all of these towns are in Ukraine. There will be no limit on the number of towns or surnames you submit. I apologize for any confusion which may have been caused by my failure to specify that the SIG will only serve as an information exchange for towns that were in Galicia before 1918. For other geographic regions, the Jewish Family Finder published by AVOTAYNU continues to be your best bet and I encourage you to submit all of your names and towns. I have material that I have been collecting for years in anticipation that someday this SIG would be a reality. Also, many people included interesting information along with their membership applications! Still, I am concerned that we will run out of material for a newsletter, so keep on sending material for future issues. In this issue, I have decided to reprint (with permission) my Summer 1992 article in AVOTAYNU for the benefit of those who did not see it. I have also included some information about records for particular towns that has been sent in to me over the years. The SIG currently has no board of directors, advisory board or operating guidelines. Bea and I have focused on getting out this first directory and newsletter and SIG funds are being deposited in a savings account in my name because our organization 3 The Galician Gazeteer Vol. 1 No. 1 Fall 1993 is not a legal entity. Please feel free to suggest how you think we should proceed on a more formal basis and, if so, how that should work. I will publish results of the feedback that you submit. Oh, what to do about bulletin boards?!?! My heartfelt plea is to use the bulletin boards only to encourage others to join Gesher Galicia so that we don't kill the "golden goose" before it has had a chance to produce results. The more we grow, the better our collective chances for connecting with good information. Why are so many Jewish records missing for Galicia?! I have long pondered this. Some were destroyed when towns were razed during one of several wars in this century. I believe that in some towns in southern Poland, Jewish records had continued to be stored in synagogues and, when the synagogues were burned by the Nazis, the records were also destroyed. Recent finds by Western scholars investigating the contents of former East German and Soviet archives has offered some hope that missing Polish records will turn up, but, as yet, this has not happened. Perhaps together we can address this issue more systematically.

Volume V has apparently not reached U.S. libraries yet. The series, which began with the 1978 publication of Volume I, offers detailed biographical information about rabbis and their families. Each volume includes indices to family names, towns, a list of yizkor books and bibliographic sources. The Hebrew alphabet is the organizing framework for the volumes. Rabbi Wunder, a true scholar in every sense of that word, compiled these books as a labor of love, with very little financial help. He hopes to publish the books in English so that the information will be more accessible to those of us who are not proficient in Hebrew. Gideon Rath from Philadelphia has translated and published the surname index from Volumes 1-4 in Chronicles, the newsletter of the JGS of Philadelphia. He has given his permission to 4 The Galician Gazeteer Vol. 1 No. 1 Fall 1993 reprint the names in The Galitzianer.

For years, Galicia had been a part of Poland. Its scenery, woods and rivers had been our parents’ memories. A Jewish culture had developed in Galicia, the Yiddish language was created there, customs established, unique Jewish foods cooked, the figure of the “Yiddishe Mame” developed, inspiring a good deal of genealogical research; “Halakhot” and Rabbinic Laws made; an authoritative leadership established in the towns, organizing communities on their social institutions – Galicia gave birth to the “Shttetl” – the Jewish town, on all its social-historical and emotional implications.

    Contours and Consequences of the Lexical Divide in Ukrainian

    Geoffrey Hull and Halyna Koscharsky1 Contours and Consequences of the Lexical Divide in Ukrainian When compared with its two large neighbours, Russian and Polish, the Ukrainian language presents a picture of striking internal variation. Not only are Ukrainian dialects more mutually divergent than those of Polish or of territorially more widespread Russian,2 but on the literary level the language has long been characterized by the existence of two variants of the standard which have never been perfectly harmonized, in spite of the efforts of nationalist writers for a century and a half. While Ukraine’s modern standard language is based on the eastern dialect of the Kyiv-Poltava-Kharkiv triangle, the literary Ukrainian cultivated by most of the diaspora communities continues to follow to a greater or lesser degree the norms of the Lviv koiné in 1 The authors would like to thank Dr Lance Eccles of Macquarie University for technical assistance in producing this paper. 2 De Bray (1969: 30-35) identifies three main groups of Russian dialects, but the differences are the result of internal evolutionary divergence rather than of external influences. The popular perception is that Russian has minimal dialectal variation compared with other major European languages. Maximilian Fourman (1943: viii), for instance, told students of Russian that the language ‘is amazingly uniform; the same language is spoken over the vast extent of the globe where the flag of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics flies; and you will be understood whether you are speaking to a peasant or a university professor. There are no dialects to bother you, although, of course, there are parts of the Soviet Union where Russian may be spoken rather differently, as, for instance, English is spoken differently by a Londoner, a Scot, a Welshman, an Irishman, or natives of Yorkshire or Cornwall.

    (Or Seven) Bridges of Kaliningrad: a Personal Eulerian Walk, 2006

    MATCH MATCH Commun. Math. Comput. Chem. 58 (2007) 529-556 Communications in Mathematical and in Computer Chemistry ISSN 0340 - 6253 The Six (or Seven) Bridges of Kaliningrad: a Personal Eulerian Walk, 2006 R. B. Mallion School of Physical Sciences, University of Kent, Canterbury, England, U.K. E-Mail Address: [email protected] (Received June 1, 2007) Abstract The eighteenth-century problem of the Bridges of Königsberg was solved in a memoir dated 1736 and written by the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler (1707í1783) soon after he had been appointed to the senior Chair of Mathematics at the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences. Euler demonstrated that what is now called an Eulerian Walk (that is, a route that traverses all of the bridges once, and once only) was not possible in contemporary Königsberg. Soon after the Conferences of Yalta and Potsdam had assigned the city and its environs to the Soviet Union after World War II, Königsberg came to be known as the city of Kaliningrad (Ʉɚɥɢɧɢɧɝɪɚɞ), capital of the Kaliningrad Oblast, which, since the early 1990s, has found itself as an exclave of the present-day Russian Federation, isolated from mainland Russia by the newly independent republic of Lithuania (and, beyond that, Latvia and Belarus). Furthermore, the Kaliningrad Oblast’s only other adjoining neighbour is Poland which, like Lithuania, has been a Member of the European Union since 1 May 2004. This state of affairs thus determines that the Kaliningrad Oblast is, these days, doubly anomalous, in that it is not only an exclave of the Russian Federation but (simultaneously) it is also a foreign enclave within the European Union.

Halle Pietism was a reform movement within the Lutheran church in 17th and 18th century Germany that believed the establishment church had become too concerned with correct theology, thus they aimed at a revival of intense Biblicism, personal spirituality, and social reform. The Pietists, led by August Hermann Francke (1662-1727) , and King Friedrich Wilhelm I (rl7l3-l740) were partners in an attempt to create a Godly realm in economically strapped and politically divided Brandenburg-Prussia. In large measure the partnership produced Pietist control of Brandenburg- Prussia'a pulpits and schoolrooms, despite the opposition of another informal alliance, this between the landed nobility and the establishment Lutheran church, who hoped to maintain their own authority in the religious and political spheres.
