Details: The Yizkor Book captures the history of Zinkov in good times and bad, of vibrant life in the town, and of the efforts by some to make aliyah to Israel or to depart for the west. Describing the living town of Zinkov – however briefly – brings into focus what was lost during the nightmare years when the Jews in Zinkov were systematically murdered, bringing over 300 years of history to an end. The Zinkov Committee understood that it is imperative for personal accounts of this dark period be documented, remembered and recounted, and this is why the book was written - and why we, the project coordinators undertook to translate it. This Yizkor Book serves as a memorial to all the victims of the Shoah from Zinkov.   Alternate names: Zin'kiv [Ukr], Zin'kov [Rus], Zinkov [Yid], Zińków [Pol], Zinkev Zinkov (Zinkiv), Ukraine is located at 49°05' N, 27°04' E and 180 miles WSW of Kyyiv.   Nearby Jewish Communities: Solobkovtsy 7 miles W Sokilets 23 miles S Vinkivtsi 8 miles ESE Khmelnytskyy 23 miles N Sharovka 10 miles NNW Horodok 23 miles WNW Yarmolyntsi 13 miles NW Kudryntsi 25 miles NW Kosohirka 14 miles W Smotrych 25 miles WSW Myn'kivtsi 16 miles S Makiv 25 miles SW Dunayivtsi 17 miles SW Staryi Zakrevskiy Maydan 27 miles ENE Nova Ushytsya 20 miles SSE Shatava 27 miles SW Zamikhiv 20 miles SE Bar 27 miles E Yaltushkiv 21 miles ESE Snitivka 27 miles NE Derazhnya 21 miles NE Kuz'myn 27 miles WNW Kupyn 22 miles W Volkovintsy 28 miles ENE Velikiy Zhvanchik 22 miles Hvardis'ke 23 miles NW S Medzhybizh 29 miles NNE Verbovets 29 miles SE Balin 23 miles SW Verkhivka 30 miles ESE   Vil'khovets' 30 miles SSE
