Produktdetaljer
Biographical note
Volodymyr Muzychenko was born in Sarny, Ukraine. He graduated from the Rivine Music College and the Rivne State Institute of Culture. Since 1988, he has lived in Volodymyr-Volynskiy where he teaches guitar at a children's music school and is the head of the town's small Jewish community. Muzychenko has researched the history of the Jewish community of Volodymyr-Volynsky extensively and takes care of the town's Jewish graves and sites of execution.“Volodymyr Muzychenko . . . committed the last ten years of his life to gathering historical data on the Jews of his city and the region. His work is thus the first and fullest narrative to date about the Jews of Volodymyr-Volynsky. . . . The book is noteworthy for its balanced material and the author’s desire to avoid a purely lamentational type of exposition. Instead, he sought to show Jewish history as a variegated process marked by both tragic and distinguished pages.”
