Intersection register · custodian, not owner
Rohatyn, a city in eastern Galicia, had one of the oldest Jewish communities in the region, attested since the fifteenth century. Its medieval cemetery, with stelae dating from the sixteenth century, bears witness to this long establishment. The city is also known for Roxelana (Anastasia Lisowska), who is said to have been of local origin. The Shoah annihilated the Jewish community in 1942.
