🌍✨ Exploring Jewish Roots in Galicia & Bukovina ✨🌍

I’ve been helping a 95-year-old child survivor of the Holocaust who was born in Galicia, and along the way I found two incredible resources for anyone researching Jewish families from Galicia and Bukovina.

📌 Jewish Galicia and Bukovina Organization (JGB)
A treasure trove of digitized records, cemetery projects, maps, and photographs that preserve the history of Jewish communities in these regions.
👉 Visit JGB

📌 Research Project on Bukovinian and Galician Jewry
A collaboration with the University of Haifa offering online courses (including “Jews of Galicia: A History”), digitized Jewish periodicals, and forums for study and discussion.
👉 Visit the Project

These sites are priceless for genealogists, descendants, and anyone interested in the history of these vibrant Jewish communities that were nearly lost.

💬 Have you researched your family history in Galicia or Bukovina? I’d love to hear what you’ve discovered!
