The Dubno Yizkor book contains stories of Jewish life in Dubno before the Shoah, the deprivations under the Soviets, and the terror and death under the Nazis. (Originally published in Tel Aviv, 1966. Translated by Sara Mages & Yocheved Klausner for JewishGen Press)
One compelling story of repeated close brushes with death is that of Frida Binshtok (ne Goldberg). Her husband, Pinchus Binshtok escaped to the forest, just before the final mass murder and survived as a partisan. (Picture provided by Frida's grandson, Noam Binstok)
Of approximately 15,000 Jews in Dubno (including those brought to the Dubno ghetto from surrounding villages), over 98% would be murdered by October, 1942 when the final "action" took place.

Even a Missing Entry Can Inform
Russian Revision List Research, article #2
This is the follow-up article to the one to the left. It describes what I was able to learn of my female ancestors from the 1850 Revision List for my Bookbinder family in Dubno. It includes a copy of the relevant pages from the Revision List, along with translations. These two articles provide a good idea of what can be found in the Russian Revision Lists for 1850.
