Zholkva, Ukraine - U.S. To Help Fund Synagogue

Zholkva, Ukraine - A historic synagogue will be restored with help from the U.S. government. Upon completion of the restoration works, funded with money from the U.S. Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad, the medieval synagogue will house a center for Jewish culture.
The restoration project also includes the opening of a memorial Jewish cemetery in the town, once a thriving Jewish center of the region formerly known as Galicia.

The commission is a government agency involved in identifying and protecting cultural properties throughout Europe that are of relevance to American heritage.
