For the question above asking about an historic photo of the synagogue in Ustrzyki Dolne , one can be found on the Virtual Shtetl website:

Do you have a picture/info about the synagogue in Ustryzki Dolne. I was there last summer and saw it. It was fairly large and had the remains of reliefs (?) of maven David’s (Jewish stars) on the side of the building. There was also a cemetery standing – not in the best condition. Our guide was told that once a year a high school class comes aNd cuts the grass andweeds

So interesting. I wonder what our Canadian equivalents of ghost signs would be?

Kudos to you, Aretha. I came across your blog from a repost from one of your diaspora Ukrainian language from Pre-war Galicia words versus accepted and widely used Post-war words for a long list of foods. I too grew up in the diaspora in Cleveland. I was in Lviv in November of this soon to be last year. Although Lviv is my Dad’s ancestral city, I had family from Central Ukraine and grew up hearing both dialects. I think the blog was from 2014 or 2015. I wanted to leave a comment on your new blog and commend you for the interesting sociolinguistic and cultural discussions you have initiated. Nice to see that you are now in the field doing your research first-hand.
