It's estimated that there were 350,000 - 400,000 Jews living in Ukraine as of 2014, constituting the fourth largest Jewish community in the world, exceeded only by the USA, Israel and Russia. Jews are mainly concentrated in Kyiv(100,000), Odessa (70,000), Dnipropetrovs'k (60,000) and Kharkiv (50,000). For more on Jewish life in Ukraine today, click here.

Eloquent photographic elegies to the world of pre-war Jewish Galicia can be found in Roman Vishniac's classic A Vanished Word and Jeffrey Gusky's Silent Places: Landscapes of Jewish Life and Loss in Eastern Europe:
