After almost three decades of research and training activities in Poland, Meir Shilo, the director of Yad le-Zahava Institute for research and documentation of the Holocaust, presents an impressive project which documents and commemorates Jewish life in the villages and small towns of Western Galicia.
Shlomo (Berghoffer) Beker (1915-1993) was born in Vienna to a family of First World War refugees from Buczacz. He had 2 brothers and 3 sisters. His father worked as a mechanic. In 1921 the family moved back to Buzhacz: where he studied, became a barber and married at a young age. In 1938 Shlomo enlisted in the Polish army and served near Stanislawow.
Aincent Jewish cemetery of Busk was fully documented by the JGB expedition in August 2019. The most sensational finding is more than a dozen gravestones from the period between the late 15th century and the early 17th century: large stone tombs with impressive rabbinic phraseology that were unknown to researchers.

New series of short lectures on the history of Galicia and "Galicianer" Jews
We are happy to announce that we have completed the documentation of a large Jewish cemetery in Pidhaitsi.
The 11th documentation expedition of the JGB Organization finished its work in two towns of great importance to the history of Galicia: Kalush and Busk. Both towns had old and developed Jewish communities which influenced Jewish life in the whole region. In both of them Jewish cemeteries had survived to tell the centuries long stories of the lives of their communities and their tragic endings during the Holocaust.
Метою існування проекту "Єврейська Галичина та Буковина" є збереження унікального світу галицького та буковинського єврейства. Нашою цілю є створення он-лайн бази даних історичних документів та залишків матеріальної культури. З допомогою цього веб сайту ми сподіваємосб зробити ці матеріали доступними як для широкого кола так і для академічної спільноти, що постійно збільшується.
На цей час більша частина нашого сайту існує в англомовній версії, але в майбутньому ми плануємо створити також і повноцінний україномовний варіант.
