The Migration of a Shtetl
***
Overview
There were three principal waves of migration from Mlynov and Mervits to the US: 1890–1909, 1910–1914, 1920–1929. As immigration was severely restricted to the US after 1924, and as the Zionist youth movement grew in popularity in Poland, some Mlynov youth and a few families made aliyah from Mlynov to British Mandatory Palestine beginning in 1920 and continuing until 1938. The small number of those who survived the Mlynov ghetto liquidation in early October 1942 headed to displaced person camps and eventually connected with family and made their way principally to the US, Canada and Israel.
