Memoirs of Jack Glotzer from Rohatyn

We are glad to inform you that UCHS, within the frames of the Memory Network project, will prepare a new edition of memories in our book series "Library of the Holocaust memoirs"! The memoirs of Jack Glotzer from Rohatyn (Ivano-Frankivsk region), who survived the Holocaust, will be published in a bilingual edition (in Ukrainian and English).

Jack's memoirs are unique among Rohatyn's memoirs because it is an eyewitness account of what happened immediately after the execution of 3,000-3,500 Jews on March 20, 1942: 16-year-old Jack was among the teenagers who were forced to bury the frozen bodies at the execution site (the southern mass grave of Rohatyn) within a few days after the murders.

After the publication, the book will be provided free of charge to the Rohatyn Public Library, the Opillia Historical and Local History Museum, and other educational institutions in Rohatyn.

For those too excited to wait until spring, Jack's memoir can be read entirely - in English and Ukrainian digital versions - on the RJH website, a project implemented several years ago in partnership with his children:
