THE MIRIAM WEINER ARCHIVAL COLLECTION MOGILEV-PODOLSKIY, UKRAINE - COLLECTIONS Collection No. 1 in Mogilev Podolskiy – List of Holocaust Victims, 1941-1944 The following database was created by Miriam Weiner (Routes to Roots Foundation) from archival data collected and printed in 1997 by A.N. Kruglov (a historian from Kharkov). The 90-page stapled booklet is entitled Murder of the Jewish Population in Vinnitsa Oblast in 1941-1944. The information and data come from archives and publications throughout the former Soviet Union. The book was presented to me by Abram Kaplun, Chief of the Jewish Community in Mogilev Podolskiy (MP) for use in my work. Because I own an apartment in MP, Mr. Kaplun and I collaborated regularly for almost 20 years. The killings occurred between 1941-1944 in the MP ghetto and also in the following localities: Borovka, Pechora, Putilov, Sadgora, Babi Yar (Kiev), Murovanyye Kurilovtsy, Ananyev, Voronovtsy, Skazentsy, Yaryshev, Ozarintsy, Chernevts, Chukov, Balta, Vinnitsa, Pechanka, Stryzhavka, Olgopol, Luchinets, Dnepropetrovsk, Pyatikhatka, Nemirov, Dzygovka, Bershad, Simferopol, Odessa, Yaruga, Lvov, Tulchin, Kharkov, Bar, Vapnyarka, Levokumskoe, Kopaygorod, Komrad, Soroki, Dzhurin, Snitkov and Babchentsy Data Included for Each Person Each entry includes the first and last name of the victim, the date of death and the location where the person died.

Kaplun, Chief of the Jewish Community in Mogilev Podolskiy, 2000 Mogilev Podolskiy / Page 2 From Wikipedia: Romanian period “Mohyliv-Podilskyi was occupied by Romanian and German troops in July 1941 and incorporated into the Romanian- ruled Transnistria Governorate. Soon thereafter, thousands of Jews in the town were murdered by the occupiers. Mohyliv-Podilskyi soon became a transit camp for Jews expelled from Bessarabia and Bukovina to Transnistria. From September 1941 to February 1942 more than 55,000 deportees came through the town. Thousands of people were jammed into the transit camp and treated cruelly by the Romanian guards. Many Jews were not allowed to stay in Mohyliv-Podilskyi; thousands were forced to travel by foot to nearby villages and towns. The 15,000 who were initially permitted to stay in the town organized themselves into groups. Some 2,000—3,000 were given residence permits, while the rest lived in constant fear of being deported into the Transnistrian interior for forced labor. In December 1943 over 3,000 Jews were allowed to return to Romania, and in March 1944, Jewish leaders in Bucharest got permission to bring back 1,400 orphans. Mohyliv-Podilskyi was liberated that month; many Jewish men were immediately drafted by the Soviet army. Many who stayed in the city were killed by German bombs. Most of the deportees were allowed to return to Romania in the spring of 1945.” Jewish Cemetery in Mogilev Podolskiy, 1991 Source: Miriam Weiner Archives At the local bazaar in Mogilev Podolskyi, 1991 Photo: Miriam Weiner Mogilev Podolsky / Page 3 Kievskaya Street in Mogilev Podolskiy c. 1921 Image Source: Miriam Weiner Archives Holocaust Memorial in the center of town, Mogilev Podolskiy on site of the former ghetto NOTE: Spelling variations include: Mogilev Podolskiy (Russian), Mohyliv-Podil's'kyy (Ukrainian), Mohilev Podolsk (Yiddish), Moghilau (Romanian) Collection No. 2 for Mogilev Podolskiy – List of Jews living in Mogilev-Podolskiy in 2000.
