This meeting is open to anyone with family connections to the Galician town of Rohatyn.  Located today in western Ukraine, Rohatyn was a typical eastern Galician town:  it was multi-lingual, culturally vibrant, and had a significant Jewish presence before the War.  Like hundreds of its Galician neighbors, Rohatyn witnessed its Jews and Jewish material culture destroyed in the Shoah: headstones were ripped out of the town's Jewish cemeteries to pave roads, and the bodies of Rohatyn's Jews were left in two large mass graves on the edge of town.  Marla Raucher Osborn, a member of the Board of Directors of Gesher Galicia, will discuss her multiple trips to Rohatyn in 2011, including the discovery of Jewish headstone fragments still found in town today, and a box of Jewish paper scraps uncovered in the recent renovation of a building that once housed the Rohatyn Judenrat.  She will also talk about the Rohatyn Shtetl Research Group (“RSRG”), comprised of children and grandchildren of people born in Rohatyn, now with more than 150 members worldwide, plus examples of records she has obtained across western and central Europe for her Rohatyn family. 

Bilingual in English and French, Marla will be happy to take and respond to questions from those attending this BOF meeting.
