Centropais an oral history project that has recorded interviews and collected photographs and documents from more than 1,350 elderly Jews living in Central and Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, and the Sephardic communities of Greece, Turkey and the Balkans. One of these interviews was provided by Arkadiy Redko, who was born in Ilintsy (Linitz) in 1924 and went on to become deputy chairman of the Association of Ukrainian Jewish War Veterans. In his extensive interview in October 2003, Redko talked about Jewish life in Ilintsy, the Great Famine of 1932, the Holocaust, World War II, anti-Semitism in the Soviet Union, the establishment of the State of Israel, and the changes for Jews following Ukrainian independence in 1991.
