Introduction

We live in the ancient town of Maheriv. This is our home, and we love it. It has a long, interesting and complex history. This story, this town, was created by people who lived here as a single community, our ancestors: Ukrainians and their good neighbors – Poles and Jews. We wanted to know more about Maheriv's story. What was it like in the distant and more recent past? How did people live? What did they do? What did they believe in? What did they hope for? Sadly, the river of time flows incessantly and carries human lives into the past. There are fewer and fewer people who remember how Ukrainians, Poles and Jews lived together. We therefore tried to gather information about the past of our town, so that life in our town would live on, and the connection of times and generations would never be severed, and the memory of the people who lived here would be preserved.
