Because of its location, it was a center for trade, and had a thriving Jewish community. During the first World War it became a front line for different warring armies, and was nearly destroyed. Later it became an arena for the war between Ukrainian Nationalists and Bolsheviks, until a new Polish government was established. With it came a rebirth of Jewish life, including a robust Zionist movement. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy 1935, the town was home to 12,000, more than half of whom were Jews. The community supported three Jewish schools, a Talmud Torah, several private cheders, two synagogues, 14 houses of prayer, a Jewish hospital, and a home for invalids. Most of the Jews worked in commerce. They also owned several factories, a Jewish printing press, a brewery, a lime furnace, and a flour mill. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter the Germans occupied the town in July 1941, the Nazis and their Ukrainian helpers began a program of repression and murder, culminating in the 1942 massacre of an estimated 4,000 Jews. When Radzivilov was liberated in March 1944, only about 50 Jews had survived. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring the 1960s, a group of survivors and former residents met in Israel, determined to re-create in book form, their town that had been destroyed. This book, newly translated from Hebrew, is their tribute to the Jewish Radzivilov that was. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jewishgen.Inc\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/05\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781939561695\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 562\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.02h x 8.50w x 1.25d","brand":"Ya'acov Adini","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41968279093429,"sku":"9781939561695","price":65.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_fccb4f26-5689-4931-b0bf-e499b61c1236.jpg?v=1647956495","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/memorial-book-of-radzivilov-translation-of-radzivilov-sefer-zikaron-9781939561695","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
