According to Yad VaShem's Encyclopedia of Jewish Life Before and During the Holocaust, "Jews in Lipovets are first mentioned in 1747. There were over 1,000 in the area in the early 18th century. In 1897 the J. pop of L was 4,135 out of a total population of 8,658. Two state J. schools were operating in the early 20th c. In the Soviet period, a J. elementary school was opened and a J. council (soviet) was active. Dozens of J. families earned their livelihoods in agriculture. In 1939, the J. pop. was 1,353. The Germans arrived on 24 July 1941. On 12 Sept. they murdered 183 Jews and in Oct. another 60-70 in the nearby forest." Good luck! Doug Cohen Lexington, MA dmc@dmcohen.com

One of the replies I received informed me that there is in fact a place in Kiev Gubernia called LIPOVITZ. Does anyone have any information about LIPOVITZ in Kiev or know where I might find any information about this place, as although I have done searches I am unable to find any information? Thank you all in advance Kind Regards, Sue Prescott, Wigan England
