Once there was a Shtetl

Pictures of Jewish sites in Żółkiewka – How they looked (if available) and what has become of them.

Unfortunately, from a bustling mostly Jewish town with an active community, there are hardly any reminders.
None of the Jewish community's facilities (Synagogue, Mikve, Cemetery) survived or are acknowledged in any way.
A memorial, set up by three survivors on the town square in 1996
, is the only reminder that Jews once lived in Żółkiewka.
