In 1612 the Jews of Bolekhov were allowed to vote in the local elections. Jews in the 18th century were active in the various trades and crafts including timber, tanneries, furniture and soap. The town was known as the center of Jewish Enlightenment in eastern Galicia. There were about 3000 Jews living in the town in 1931.\u003cp\u003eThe Nazis invaded the town on July 2, 1941, which started the eventual elimination of this long established Jewish community. In spring of 1944, when the Soviets finally took control of the region, only a few Jews remained alive. Thus ended the Jewish community of Bolekhov.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book serves to commemorate the once vital community that no longer exists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBolekhov (Bolechów), Ukraine is located at 49°04' North Latitude\/ 23°52' East Longitude\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNearby Jewish Communities: \u003cbr\u003eWołoska Wieś 1 miles W \u003cbr\u003eMezhdurechye 5 miles NE\u003cbr\u003eVygoda 9 miles SSE\u003cbr\u003eDolyna 10 miles SE\u003cbr\u003eStaryy Mizun 10 miles S\u003cbr\u003eSokołów 11 miles NE\u003cbr\u003eStryy 13 miles N\u003cbr\u003eVerkhneye Sinevidnoye 13 miles \u003cbr\u003eW Broshniv-Osada 15 miles ESE \u003cbr\u003eSvarychiv 16 miles ESE\u003cbr\u003eSkole 16 miles W\u003cbr\u003eRozhnyativ 16 miles SE\u003cbr\u003eOrov 18 miles WNW\u003cbr\u003eGolyn 18 miles E\u003cbr\u003eLysyatychi 19 miles NNE\u003cbr\u003eSukhodol 20 miles SSE\u003cbr\u003eStebnik 21 miles NW\u003cbr\u003eTruskavets 22 miles NW\u003cbr\u003ePerehinske 22 miles SE \u003cbr\u003eHnizdychiv 23 miles NNE \u003cbr\u003eZhuravno 23 miles NE \u003cbr\u003eKalush 23 miles E\u003cbr\u003eDovhe 24 miles WNW \u003cbr\u003eZhidachov 25 miles NNE \u003cbr\u003eBoryslav 25 miles NW \u003cbr\u003eDrohobych 26 miles NW \u003cbr\u003eMedenychi 26 miles NNW \u003cbr\u003eSkhidnitsya 26 miles WNW \u003cbr\u003eYalynkovate 28 miles SW \u003cbr\u003eLavochnoye 28 miles SW \u003cbr\u003eDolzhka 29 miles ENE \u003cbr\u003eLukvitsa 29 miles SE \u003cbr\u003eVoynilov 29 miles E\u003cbr\u003eRozdil 29 miles NNE \u003cbr\u003eBerezdivtsi 29 miles NNE \u003cbr\u003ePryslip 29 miles SSW \u003cbr\u003eCherniv 30 miles ENE\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JewishGen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47039752700144,"sku":"9781939561343","price":46.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781939561343_p0.jpg?v=1763664742","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781939561343","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
