Nadvirna Надвірна Nadwórna נאדווארנא
Until World War I, Nadvirna was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, in the province of Galicia.
Narrative
Nadvirna once had a large Jewish population, whose recorded history in the city dates from at least 1765.
The city is still known for its Hasidic dynasty and rabbinical families, many of whom now live in Israel.
By 1942, all but a very few of the Nadvirna Jews had been murdered in the Holocaust, some in ghettos created in the city, but many killed in the Belzec concentration camp.
