The People of the Drohobycz Administrative District

Before 1945, the Drohobycz Administrative District was the home for thousands of Jewish families, whose communities had been there for centuries. After 1945, most of the tiny number that had survived left the scenes of their nightmares to find new homes. The writers, filmmakers, professors, and journalists who would have recorded the histories of those vibrant communities, sing their songs and tell their stories had been turned to ashes.

To revive the lost communities, the many different kinds of people who lived in them, and memories of the families, descendants and survivors have contributed their photographs, their memoirs, and whatever they can remember of their families' stories to remind the world of what was lost.
