"Jewish Roots in Ukraine and Moldova" -- The Ultimate Source
NEVER BEFORE HAS THERE BEEN A BOOK ABOUT THE JEWS OF UKRAINE AND MOLDOVA LIKE THIS ONE
NEVER BEFORE HAS THERE BEEN A BOOK ABOUT THE JEWS OF UKRAINE AND MOLDOVA LIKE THIS ONE
Whether you are interested in researching your Jewish roots in Ukraine and Moldova (formerly Bessarabia) or merely wish to learn-and see-more about the Jewish past and present, "Jewish Roots in Ukraine and Moldova" illuminates the Old Country as no other book has done. Produced by an American genealogist renowned for her expertise in Eastern European archives, this book is the result of eight years of intense effort and countless trips overseas. A combination reference book, travel guide, Holocaust book and genealogical handbook, Miriam Weiner's "Jewish Roots in Ukraine and Moldova" is a unique publication that could not even have been attempted before the collapse of communism in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. With its archival inventories representing 1,400 shtetls and towns, this book effectively puts to rest the once widely held belief that virtually all documents pertaining to Jews in these countries had been destroyed during the Holocaust. These archives became accessible to the public for genealogy research only after Ukraine and Moldova declared independence in 1991. Here, listed for the first time in English, are precise inventories of the vast Jewish materials in the archives of Ukraine and Moldova, presented with the full cooperation and blessings of Ukrainian and Moldovan archivists. Of extraordinary value for Jewish genealogists, "Jewish Roots in Ukraine and Moldova" is also a superlative travel guide, with 1,200 photographs, maps, and document examples, including many rare antique postcards. The chapters on towns and cities highlight 189 places in Ukraine and Moldova. They include such important Jewish centers as Kiev, Lvov, Odessa, and Kishinev; and lesser-known places such as Nemirov, Sudilkov, Soroki, Shepetovka, and Priluki. The sections entitled "The People and The Places" and "Town Clips" offer many more mementos of Jewish life, past and present. The Holocaust chapter includes poignant photographs of memorials to the victims of the Nazis in cities, towns and villages all over Ukraine and Moldova, along with detailed maps and accompanying text. Some photographs are pre-World War I, and some were taken just a few months ago. More than 900 of the photographs are in full color, as are all 20 maps. "Jewish Roots in Ukraine and Moldova," like its predecessor volume, "Jewish Roots in Poland," is an exceptional resource as well as a poignant memorial album of unsurpassed quality and stunning visual impact.

I read about this book in the August 2000 issue of National Georgraphic magazine, and grew very eager to read it. For years I've been searching for ways to explore family roots in Shepitikava, Ukraine, around and prior to 1920. This book provides details I would not have found anywhere unless I did the on site research the author Weiner has done. What a find! Aunts born in Shepitivka prior to 1920 still live today and will be mesmerized by the details I will soon point out to them. For that matter, their father, my grandfather, may well be pictured in one 1920 photo of Jewish men in Shepetivka at the cemetary's new gate.

I recently received my copy of this long awaited work by Miriam Weiner. In addition to providing the first tangible inventory of what the regional archives hold, in regard to the history of our Jewish families, this book gives a wonderful pictorial overview of the area. One which most of us could only imagine until now. It does so by providing photos of the places our families inhabited in the past, contrasted, in many instances, with how those same places appear now.
The vivid past jumps off the pages of this beautifully formatted book, just as the lure of the book's vast archive document inventory tempts the reader with its research possibilities for the future.
This book is a must for anyone contemplating research into their family history in Ukraine and Moldova, and a treasure for those who are merely curious about the world our ancestors lived in and left behind.

Haunting Gathering!
2. November 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This is a unique and haunting work. Miriam Weiner is one of the rare souls who believe that memory and family history or indispensable to human society, personal identity, fulfilment and maybe the passage of meaning through to our children. This is monumental work filled with the most astounding collection of hundreds of photographs of people, places, buildings, collected from among the circumscribed community of Jewish peoples in the Ukraine and Moldova. Of course that is where my mother and father's parents derived which rivets me even more urgently to the encyclopedic information. They are dead now. My cousins, now in their late 60s and 70s, and mostly living in Paris, have no information from their war, revolution and pogrom traumatized parents, long gone, as the tumult of life in the late 19th and early 20th Century was overwhelming. Our parents shut off memory and stories from fear and safety, and only marginally and apocryphally shared tidbits with our generation. Thus, Miriam's scholarly and massive search is a work of sublime significance and worth the struggle for those who value knowing and caring about the mystery of family inheritance. Many of us owe a profound debt to her astounding genealogical documentation. When one is searching for a 'personal' connection, the huge information available and the dominant amount of photographic material is initially frustrating and initially distracting...but...at a point, the gestalt of the imagery and information has its humbling impact. All this starts as a reality forgotten, invisible, impossible to engage, remote, lost, sad, amazing, a world of people, styles, struggles, creativity, culture that in many instances shows the bland and flat culture in which we, in the 21st Century, now endure with all our meaningless and infinite consumer goods, comfort culture, alienation, lost histories, fragile identities and limited stories . Finding a copy of this book is an ordeal in itself. Affording it is another hurdle as I found another copy selling for over $700 (!) despite the $60 original 1999 copyrighted book jacket price. But for me, aching about the inability to ask my family, or any acquaintances about our origins, it is a priceless treasure that lavishes a look into a world gone forever. Miriam Weiners work is a service to human kind and a unique gift to those of us whose roots came deep from the drama of the Jewish Shtetls and the Pale.
