Photos from 2015 visit to Gorodok.
In 2015 my wife and I visited Gorodok. In
addition to our able Romanian driver and Ukrainian interpreter, we were
joined by two members of the remaining Jewish community (approximately 30
people), who served as guides for us and to whom we are greatly indebted.
Not to our surprise, much imagination is needed to visualize what Gorodok was like 100 years ago. The only physical
evidence of the Jewish community from that period is the cemetery.
The photos of 19th and early 20th century Gorodok were provided to us by the Horodok
(Gorodok) Museum. We greatly appreciate the
museum for its generosity.

Topographic
Maps of Eastern Europe – An Atlas of the Shetl. The maps, 1812-1932,
are from the collection at the Library of Congress, courtesy of the
website: “Topographic Maps of Eastern Europe – An Atlas of the Shetl” located at www.easteurotopo.org. We are greatly
indebted to Hap Ponodel, the manager of that
website, for providing us the maps of Gorodok
along with many helpful explanations. We encourage our readers to explore
the many resources of that website.
Gorodok is located on the maps below by a vertical red
arrow. Once you find the arrow you can center the page on the arrow then
magnify the view to see map details. Information at the bottom of the maps
was provided by Mr. Ponodel. Better resolution
and easier navigation can be found by going to the website link that is
indicated for each map and then using the “zoom viewer” feature. As you
will see there are many different spellings of Gorodok.
