2014 Żółkiew

Zhovkva (Ukrainian: Жовква; Russian: Жо́лква; Polish: Żółkiew; Yiddish: Zholkva) is a city in the Lviv Oblast (province) of western Ukraine, north of Lviv.
The site of Zhovkva has been inhabited since the 14th century as a private fortified town by the Polish nobleman Stanisław Żółkiewski, and, like Zamo¶ć, was built on an ideal Renessaince city plan. Before World War II, the town's 4,500 Jews accounted for nearly half the population, but few survived the Holocaust. /wiki/
