Places in Galicia
Czortków
Czortków (now Chortkiv) meaning ‘Devil City’ is a place where strange sounds can still be heard. This town was the last residence of my paternal great-grandparents, Isidore and Amalia Charak before they emigrated to the U.S.
We saw the old synagogue, in crumbling condition, a memorial to The Husyatyn Rebbe, and expansive plaza with shadows of pigeons.
