Pincus Ha-Ki-Hilot #ukraine

Michelle Sandler
I am looking for the village of Uzava in Eastern Ukraine. Can anyone
look up this village in Pinkas Ha-Ki-Hilot? 48*32'/38*00' Near Artemovsk 207 Kilometers southeast of Kharkiv and tell me what it says? I got this from Where Once We Walked by Gary Mokotoff and the Shtetl Finder by Chester Cohen. I live in Orange County, California and can not read Hebrew except prayer book Hebrew. The closest library with this set of books would be over an hour away. Michelle Sandler MLS Westminster, California |

i see you have an mls degree so you probably know of this, but did you try the NYPL which publishes these yizkor books online, or virtual jewish library? also there were some of these yizkor books translated to yiddish, how to find them is to find a survivor who lived in America at time of publication. i got a copy of michalovce book in english from the dear spouse of a michalovce survivor in the usa.

The YIVO Institute in New York has a copy of the Pinkas HaKehillot volume for "Yidn in Ukrayne". See https://yivo.org/Genealogy-Books-in-Hebrew-and-Yiddish. You may want to use their Remote Research service to get a copy of the material on Uzava. Once you get it, however, you will still need to have it translated.

If you have the name of the yizkor book, and the section you want has not been translated into English, you can request that it be done with a donation to the cause. https://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/
It is that easy. Marlise Gross Cherry Hill, NJ |

Pinkas HaKehillot -- the Encyclopedia of the Communities, published in Israel by Yad Vashem -- has many volumes. The series includes multiple volumes for Poland (defined by interwar borders) and Germany as well as single volumes for Greece, Hungary, Latvia/Estonia, Libya/Tunisia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Romania, Slovakia, and Yugoslavia. I have never seen a reference to a volume that covers communities as far east as the location you describe. Here are the volumes listed in the library catalog of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum: Yidn in Ukraine, mentioned in another message, is not a volume of Pinkas HaKehillot. It was published in New York, in Yiddish, by the Gezelshaft tsu Fareybikn dem ondenk fun Ukrayner Yidn.
