http://www.jerusalemcollection.com/jer04/JER04_14.jpg During Soviet days, Ukrainian cities carried Russian names, and since the Russian language doesn't have an "H" in the alphabet, a "G" was used in its place. Remember that the 1941 modern name of the shtetl of your inquiry may or may not be the same as the post WW II modern name. Also note, that with the collapse of the Soviet regime in the 1990s, some towns with Bolshevized names have reverted to their historical names. The Jews of Ukraine make up the fourth largest Jewish Community in the world, and are mainly concentrated in Kiev (110,000), Dniepropetrovsk (60,000), Kharkov (45,000) and Odessa (45,000). Jews also live in many of the smaller towns. Western Ukraine, however, has only a small remnant of its former Jewish population, with L'viv and Chernivtsi each having only about 6,000 Jews. The majority of Jews in present-day Ukraine are native Russian/Ukrainian speakers, and only some of the elderly speak Yiddish as their mother tongue (in 1926, 76.1% claimed Yiddish as their mother tongue). The average age is close to 45. Ukrainian Language, Culture and Travel - included at this web site, are photos of synagogues and memorials along with articles about Jewish culture

 Berdechev Cemetery where my half brother Moshe is buried. This is a 'mixed'
cemetery of both Jews and Gentiles. Berdichev (Berdychiv, Berdichiv, Berdiciv, Berdychiv) - the Berdichev's Jewish population increased mostly in the 1700s, but was a very small minority until then.

Czernowitz (Chernovitsy) - (see also Chemerovitz)
About 50,000 Jews
lived in this city before WW II and they represented Assimilationists,
Zionists, Bundists, Yiddishists and a large Hasidic community. Jews began
flocking to the area after the annexation of Bukovina to the Hapsburg
Empire in 1774. The Jews adopted Hapsburger German, kneading it
in a manner that made it either Bukovinian or Czernowitzian.
After WW II, it became a "gray" Ukrainian city, lacking the Jews who had
carried their German culture into the heart of Eastern Europe.
The town had an
extensive middle class: merchants, industrialists, doctors, lawyers and
journalists, many of them consumers of culture. There were neighborhoods
inhabited by traditional Jews, mostly in the city's poorer sections, and
there was a certain amount of tension between the religiously observant and
the assimilating class. Some of the information obtained from an
article in Haaretz authored by Aharon Appelfeld and published in the
American Jewish World, April 18 2008 edition.
