Over time, civil unrest, warfare, and economic and political conditions affected the size of the Jewish community.

Just prior to WWII, the Jewish population of 17,000 increased to 25,000 with refugees from Poland.

The brutal Nazi occupation began on June 23, 1941 and lasted 1,124 long days and nights.

Nearly twenty-two thousand Jews were forced into a ghetto and murdered in mass graves.

Twenty Jews live in Ludmir today.

This book was researched and written by Volodymyr Muzychenko, the leader of the current Jewish community in Ludmir.
