This web page

This website was assembled to provide information for people interested in Jewish heritage from the town of Sudilkov (Sudylkiv, Ukraine). It is also intended to honor the residents of Sudilkov, both emigrants and current residents, and also the memory of our Sudilkov ancestors who were murdered there during the Holocaust. I hope that descendants may recognize a name or a face and help add to the knowledge base for this town. In this effort, I was greatly assisted by Miriam Weiner, who has roots in the town and provided extensive material. Her willingness to share her tremendous base of knowledge has been invaluable to this project.

Note About the Town Name

Researchers of Sudilkov are fortunate that the town name has been virtually unchanged within recent memory. The Ukrainian (current) version of the town name is Sudylkiv (Судилків). This web page uses the name Sudilkov.
