Galicia

The "Golden Rose" Synagogue (built in 1582) in Lviv (aka Lvov, Lwow or Lemberg) did not survive World War II, so one can see its interior only on old drawings like the one made by Rudolf Bernt some time in the 1890-ies.
	This archive photo of the interior of the "Golden Rose" was taken in 1941 and is the most recent of all known photos.

The burial place of Baal Shem Tov, the founder of Hassidism, in the small town of Medzhybizh is the most popular pilgrimage destination among Hassidim. This photo shows the local castle (pictures of the ohel coming soon).
	Dunaivtsi is another shtetl in Khmelnytskyi (former Proskurov) Province (a part of what used to be Podolia Gubernia). This is the Jewish cemetery in Dunaivtsi.
Some old tomb stones are still there. Like this...
	...or this.
Almost any city or town in Podillia (Podolia) has a Holocaust memorial reminding of the grim recent history. Dunaivtsi is no exception...
	...neither is Mohyliv-Podilskyi.
In the old Jewish quarter of Mohyliv-Podilskyi (Mogilev) one can still find authentic houses.
	Kamianets-Podilskyi (Kamenz) is a huge open air museum with hundreds of priceless architectural monuments. Next to the medieval tower is the old synagogue.
