The Great Synagogue of the Jewish community in Zhovkva (Zółkiew), Ukraine, was built in 1692. Its majestic fortress style and size dwarf other buildings in the town. The synagogue’s roof and interior were destroyed during the Holocaust. It was then used as a warehouse.
The photograph was taken during The Survivor Mitzvah Project’s Humanitarian Aid expedition to Ukraine in 2012. Additional photographs and video footage of other synagogue ruins in Ukraine, Belarus, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, and Transnistria is now part of The Zane Buzby Survivor Mitzvah Holocaust Educational Archive.

Excellent work.
NEWSFLASH - In order to conserve energy and natural gas, Ukraine’s Head of the National Regulatory Commission for Energy and Utilities, Andriy Herus, will end the “heating season” in many regions as early as Monday, March 20th, a full 1 ½ months earlier than usual.
With temperatures still near freezing, elderly Holocaust survivors in the war-torn region who have already endured a year of devastating war, will not survive without our help. Your donation today provides a survivor with warm wool or electric blankets, fleece-lined vests, camping stoves, parkas, and warm winter boots, and assure them that they have not been forgotten.
Show you care. Save a life.

On International Women’s Day, we salute Holocaust Survivor Lyubov Isakovna Vakar from Moldova, who survived the brutality of the Romanian Nazi collaborators during a forced March to Ukraine, and the horrors of Kodyma Camp, the place “from which no one returned.” Today Lyubov Isakovna is 101 years old.

On International Women’s Day, we celebrate Holocaust Survivor Fania Brancovskaya, who at age 17 escaped the Vilna ghetto to join the Partisans in the forests of Lithuania, where she bravely fought the Nazis. Her entire family was murdered when the ghetto was liquidated. Today Fania is 100 years old and continues to tell her story to students and scholars worldwide.
