A
labor of love opens windows on
lost world
(Update on Sid Shaievitz'
work on the Felshtin yizkor book.)

Following his visit to Gvardeyskoye in May 2007, Mel Werbach
launched a Felshtin Memorial Project. We thank everyone who has
donated. The list is here.
Mel's account of his trip
is Felshtin
70 Years Later. He has also made photos from his trip available.

"In Memory of the Martyrs of Felshtin
community and the surroundings in the Ukraine that were murdered in
the Petlura calamity, may their names (the rioters) be removed, in
the year 5679, in the month of Adar, in the days of the pogrom, and
the holocaust in the days of the Nazi occupation.
"May God avenge their blood.
"May their souls be bound in the
bundle of life, memorialized by the people of Felshtin and the
diaspora."

victims of the Felshtin pogrom is now available. (An
