Indexed Personal Name-Town Name Concordance An Introduction and User Guide to the Indexed Concordance of Personal Names and Town Names for Kremenets District Resources Extracted from Jewish Records obtained by the Kremenets Shtetl CO-OP / Jewish Records Indexing - Poland Compiled by Dr. Ronald D. Doctor ([email protected]), Co-Coordinator, and Ellen Garshick, Co-Coordinator, Kremenets Shtetl CO-OP 2 Sep 2021 This document has 4 major sections: Introduction Transliteration Documents Indexed in Concordance—Brief List Detailed Descriptions of Source Documents: How to Read Source and Location Information To jump to each section, select the section you want, press and hold down your Ctrl key and click your left mouse button. Introduction This is an indexed concordance to Jewish personal names and town names recorded in the vital records, revision lists, yizkor books, and other documents from and dealing with Kremenets, Ukraine, and surrounding shtetlach of the Kremenets District. All sources are described in detail later in this document. Personal names include given names and patronymics as well as other indicators of relationships. For women, wherever possible, we have included both her birth surname (her father’s surname) and her married surname (her husband’s surname). In addition, we have compiled a list of town names and the number of times each appears in our documents. We have standardized on the modern spelling used by JewishGen’s Ukraine Special Interest Group (the pre-World-War-I spelling) as specified in JewishGen’s Town Finder (the JewishGen Gazetteer and JewishGen Communities Database). However, we also include the spelling that appears in the records. When the alternate spelling is significantly different from the standardized name, we use “see” references to point you to the standard name. Here are some statistics on the towns mentioned in the current list: Town name entries (including “see” references) 2,342 Towns or areas represented 1,766 Concordance entries mentioning towns 444,630 Towns mentioned 20 or more times 337 Towns mentioned 100 or more times 108 Towns mentioned 1,000 or more times 26 Towns mentioned 10,000 or more times 10 Page 1 of 46 Indexed Concordance of Personal Names & Town Names in the Kremenets District Introduction and User Guide The lists are not complete because document acquisition and translation activities still are underway. Complete data for the vital records and revision list translations are posted on JRI-Poland after the transliterated data are proofread and edited. Yizkor book translations are posted on JewishGen’s Yizkor Book Translation Project after they are edited. Links to these sites and other Kremenets information are available at the Kremenets KehilaLinks site. This is a work in progress. The Concordance currently contains 446,534 entries from the following sources: Vital records 179,396 Revision Lists 141,270 Documents obtained from the Central Archives for the History of the Jewish 26,212 People, other than vital records and Revision Lists Yizkor books and booklets 11,980 Ellis Island Database 9,553 Documents obtained from Yad Vashem 39,515 Other sources 36,792 “See” and “see also” references 1,475 We have completed translation of all the Kremenets vital records that we received from the LDS and have also translated vital records from the Central Archives for Belozirka, Berezhtsy, Katerburg, Kremenets, Lanovtsy, Oleksinets, Pochayev, Rokhmanov, Shumsk, Vishnevets, and Vyshgorodok, a total of 35,266 records. These include 24,353 births, 3,175 marriages, 141 divorces, and 7,913 deaths. All are included in the Concordance, although not all have been edited and proofread. Edited entries are shown in a boldface font. An Excel spreadsheet, Kremenets Translation Projects: Document Acquisitions and Status, is linked from the KehilaLinks Research Page. It lists all the items we have acquired and identifies the status of each item. Transliteration Names from the vital records have been transliterated from the Hebrew/Yiddish ledger pages for this Concordance. However, some of the unedited entries are from the Russian side of the ledger. Names in the Hebrew/Yiddish column that are from the Russian side of the ledger are in italics. In addition, in some vital records the surname of women is the surname of her father, but in others no surname is given. For those married female records lacking a surname, we have input her married surname. This is indicated by an asterisk following the surname. We will update all records during the editing and proofreading process. In the meantime, when you search, be sure to search for variations in the spelling of your surname. We have tried to standardize the transliteration of these surnames to English, but be aware that in some cases our translators applied common usage to the spelling of names. With a few exceptions, our Guidelines are based on the ANSI Z39.25-1975 General Purpose Standard for Hebrew, YIVO’s transliteration schema for Yiddish and on e-mail correspondence with Alexander Beider. To resolve any remaining ambiguity in the Hebrew transliteration, we have used the Russian pronunciation as a Page 2 of 46 Indexed Concordance of Personal Names & Town Names in the Kremenets District Introduction and User Guide guide to the English spelling. Please see the Kremenets Shtetl CO-OP document “Kremenets Hebrew/Yiddish Transliteration Guidelines.” It describes the techniques we used. The Guidelines document is available on the JewishGen’s Ukraine Special Interest Group (Ukraine SIG) website (http://www.jewishgen.org/Ukraine), or on our Kremenets Kehilainks website (http://kehilalinks.jewishgen.org/Kremenets/). Transliterations often cannot be exact. In particular, commonly interchangeable letters include /h/ & /g/, /p/ & /f/, /o/ & /a/, /o/ & /u/, /y/ & /i/, and /i/, /ay/ & /ey/. The Hebrew letter /chet/ does not appear in Yiddish. We have transliterated it as /ch/ to differentiate it from /khaf/, which we have transliterated as /kh/. The reader should be aware that such differences in spelling might occur for any specific name. Consequently, you should be sure to search for spelling variations of surnames. One further note is in order. Surnames often are absent in older documents and in most cemetery inscriptions. Instead, we find only given names, sometimes with a patronymic (given name followed by the father’s given name). So, when looking for names, be sure to search the Index for given names as well as surnames. To help you make sense of the entries that contain only given names, we have added the year that appears in the document.

    arts Article Lithuanian Synagogues: From the First Descriptions to Systematic Research Vilma Gradinskaite Independent scholar, 05224 Vilnius, Lithuania; [email protected] Received: 4 March 2020; Accepted: 15 May 2020; Published: 21 May 2020 Abstract: The article presents an analysis of the development stages of synagogue research methodology in Lithuania during the four major historical periods of the country—Lithuania in the Russian Empire (1795–1918), Vilnius Region in the interwar period and the independent Republic of Lithuania (1918–1940), the Soviet period (1940–1990), and the independent Republic of Lithuania restored in 1990. Each chapter of the article deals with the issues of synagogue research, heritage conservation and management, while the part about the restored independent Republic of Lithuania and modern days includes topical issues related to synagogue restoration, commemoration and putting them into operation. The study uses two different sources: archival materials and publications. Written sources and publications are reviewed in chronological order and start from the end of the 18th century. The study employs several research methods—the historical descriptive method, the comparative method and the analysis method. Keywords: Lithuania; synagogues; conservation; restoration; renovation; rebuilding; management; commemoration 1. Introduction The article presents several fields of study: (1) a review of the first descriptions of synagogues in Lithuania; (2) an analysis of the development stages of synagogue research methodology in Lithuania; and (3) a brief reference to synagogue restoration, renovation, rebuilding, commemoration and putting into operation—topics which are currently particularly live in Lithuania today. It is not possible to understand the existing trends in synagogue research in Lithuania without considering the country’s past—the times of the Russian Empire, the interwar period and the Soviet period.

  • Researching Your Lithuanian Roots
    RESEARCHING YOUR LITHUANIAN ROOTS Judy Baston [email protected] Since its founding 20 years ago, LitvakSIG’s translation activities have taken place through geographic- specific Research Groups whose primary purpose is to identify, collect and translate data from available records for Lithuania. A number of towns now in Belarus and Poland but with records in Lithuanian Archives also fall under our aegis. Looking forward, LitvakSIG will be translating more records from the Lithuanian State Central Archives, including country-wide lists such as: Emigration to Eretz Israel; Evacuees to the USSR during World War II; Jewish Volunteers in the Lithuanian Army; JDC Lithuanian Survivors List. LitvakSIG is an independent organization whose database and discussion group are hosted by JewishGen. Each organization has its own, separate administrative and fundraising structure. How to find out what records exist for your towns * In LitvakSIG, towns are organized into District Research Groups for the purpose of getting records translated. To find out what District your town is in, download and check the LitvakSIG Shtetl List It will show you the current spelling of the town and what District the town is in. https://www.litvaksig.org/information-and-tools/shtetls/ * On the website for Miriam Weiner’s Routes to Roots Foundation, search the archival database for the town and also for the Uyezd (District) that the town is in. These searches will provide information on what records exist and what archives they are in. http://www.rtrfoundation.org/search.php * Browse the Index of Records in the Kaunas Regional Archive and the Inventory of Jewish Vital Records in the Lithuanian State Historical Archives (LVIA), which are on the LitvakSIG Members Page.

  • Two Awards for POLIN Museum in the SY- BILLA Competition
    Two Awards for POLIN Museum in the SY- BILLA Competition The Warsaw Ghetto Museum would like to congratulate the Virtual Shtetl portal and POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews. The Museum received two awards in the SYBILLA competition for the Museum Event of the Year – honouring the achievements of Polish museology and organized by The National Institute for Museums and Public Collections – for the Virtual Shtetl portal and for the social and educational Daffodils Campaign and the Łączy Nas Pamięć [The Memory Connects Us] concert implemented as part of the 75th anniversary of the outbreak of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. This year, prizes were awarded in six categories and the Grand Prix, which was received by the Museum of Architecture in Wrocław for the temporary exhibition of Leon Tarasewicz. This is a change compared to the last editions, when 11 prizes were awarded. The aim of the SYBILLA competition is to award people and institutions praiseworthy for their care and protection of Polish cultural heritage. On this occasion, we are talking to Mr Albert Stankowski, Director of the Warsaw Ghetto Museum and originator and the first coordinator of the honoured portal about its origins, the potential inherent in voluntary service and the growing interest in the culture and history of Polish Jews. What was the knowledge of the Jewish history of our – once – neighbours in 2009, when you were creating the Virtual Shtetl? First of all, I would like to congratulate POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews for the award received for the Virtual Shtetl portal in the SYBILLA Competition for the Museum Event of the Year.

  • Jewish Ghettos in Europe
    Jewish ghettos in Europe Jewish ghettos in Europe were neighborhoods of European cities in which Jews were permitted to live. In addition to being confined to the ghettos, Jews were placed under strict regulations as well as restrictions in many European cities.[1] The character of ghettos varied over the centuries. In some cases, they comprised aJewish quarter, the area of a city traditionally inhabited by Jews. In many instances, ghettos were places of terrible poverty and during periods of population growth, ghettos had narrow streets and small, crowded houses. Residents had their own justice system. Around the ghetto stood walls that, during pogroms, were closed from inside to protect the community, but from the outside during Christmas, Pesach, and Easter Week to prevent the Jews from leaving at those times. In the 19th century, Jewish ghettos were progressively abolished, and their walls taken down. However, in the course of World War II the Third Reich created a totally new Jewish ghetto-system for the purpose of persecution, terror, and exploitation of Jews, mostly in Eastern Europe. According to USHMM archives, "The Germans established at least 1,000 ghettos inGerman-occupied and annexed Poland and the Soviet Union alone."[2] Contents Ghettos during World War II and the Holocaust Jewish ghettos in Europe by country Austria The distribution of the Jews in Central Europe (1881, Soviet Belarus German). Percentage of local population: Croatia 13–18% Dubrovnik Split 9–13% Czech Republic 4–9% France 3–4% Germany 2–3% Frankfurt Friedberg 1–2% The Third Reich and World War II 0.3–1% Hungary 0.1–0.3% Italy < 0.1% Mantua Piedmont Papal States Venice Sicily Southern Italy Lithuania Poland The Holocaust in German-occupied Poland Spain The Netherlands Turkey United Kingdom References Ghettos during World War II and the Holocaust During World War II, the new category of Nazi ghettos was formed by the Third Reich in order to confine Jews into tightly packed areas of the cities of Eastern and Central Europe.
