Dear Kremenets district friends,
I'm pleased to announce that we've posted some additional Kremenets-district-related material:
- New entries on our Family Photos page
(with thanks to Jeff Kaiser)
- Three photo presentations (scroll
down that page): two commemorating Shumskers
and Kremenetsers who perished in the
Holocaust, and one an archive of additional, related photos (with
thanks to Susan Sobel Kishon)
- Memoirs about
David Moldovan, Vivian Tartak, and Elke Motshan (from a friend who visited her in the
Kremenets Ghetto in 1942)
- People from Kremenets-district towns listed in the U.S.
Holocaust Memorial Museum, Holocaust Survivors and Victims
Database (scroll to the USHMM section: one file
covering many USHMM databases and one covering registration cards of
Jewish refugees in Tashkent, Uzbekistan)
- Translations of lists
of Jews who perished in Lanovtsy, Vishnevets, and Vyshgorodok,
1941-1944, from the Records of the Extraordinary State
Commission to Investigate German-Fascist Crimes Committed on Soviet
Territory (via Yad Vashem;
available on our Contributors Site)
- A complete translation
of the records of the Association for the
Religious Education of Orphans and Poor Children “Chinuch
Yeladim" in Kremenets, 1934-1937
- Additional translations of
sections of the Kremenits, Vyshgorodek,
un Potshayuv yizkor bukh
Personal names and
associated town names in these resources will soon be searchable in
our online Concordance of Personal Names
and Town Names (our master name index, covering all our
translations and compilations). Meanwhile, you can search in the
downloadable Excel version of
the Concordance.
The Concordance now includes more than 370,000 entries extracted from various
documents and other resources relating to Jews of Kremenets
District towns. Of the 1,224 towns cited, the most commonly mentioned are Kremenets, Vishnevets, Radzivilov, Shumsk, Katerburg, Yampol, Ostrog, Vyshgorodok, Lanovtsy, Belozirka, Oleksinets, Pochayev, Berezhtsy, and Rokhmanov.
As a reminder, the group decided several years ago that proofed records
would be available publicly. Unproofed
translations are posted on our Contributors Site (available to those
who have donated money or services during the previous two years).
Many thanks to all the volunteers who have contributed to
our work. If you'd like to help, please consider

the Kremenets account via JRI Poland.

Finally, here's a
reminder of two Kremenets events at the 39th IAJGS International Conference on Jewish
Genealogy, to be held July 28-August 2 in Cleveland, Ohio:
- The ShareFair,
Sunday, July 28, 11:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. At this event, we'll staff a Kremenets table and answer questions from
people who stop by.
- The Kremenets
Birds of a Feather meeting, Tuesday, July 30, 9:15-10:30 a.m. Here,
