This KehilaLink is hosted by JewishGen, the world’s largest Jewish genealogical organisation, an affiliate of the Museum of Jewish Heritage and a living memorial to the Holocaust. JewishGen KehilaLinks are web pages that commemorate the places where Jews have lived, all over the world.
JewishGen invites anyone interested in a particular place to create a web page about that community, allowing memories to be shared online. The KehilaLink can include individual stories, photos, historic documents, links to searchable databases, maps and much more. In this way, each KehilaLink helps preserve our history for future generations.
This site is managed by Carola Murray-Seegert, who was born in Chicago and now lives in Oberursel, Germany. She invites you to contribute your stories, photos or historic information about Byerazino, Pahost and nearby shtetlekh. Please contact Carola HERE
