 === Ukraine Jewish Records ===
 See the '''[[Ukraine Jewish Records]]''' page for more information and resources for accessing genealogical records in Ukraine.
-=== Ukraine Holocaust Records ===
-Use the new '''[https://www.rtrfoundation.org/holocaust.php Holocaust Lists Database]''' at Miriam Weiner's Routes to Roots to determine the location of Holocaust documents such as victim and survivor lists, survival testimonials and more. Holocaust Collections included in this database are from select towns in Belarus, Lithuania, Moldova, Poland, and Ukraine.
-Database entries include information about archive the records are stored in and the archival file number. This information will help you locate the original record in the archive.
-To determine what holocaust lists may survive, simply select the locality or town name you are searching form from the drop-down menu and select Search. Click on an entry to view additional information about the record and its location. After you have determined that Holocaust documents for your town are available, consider searching your surname in the Surname Database. Miriam Weiner has digitized many Holocaust lists and they are accessible through the Surname Database. Keep in mind that this is an ongoing project, so check back often for new information and updates.
 ==Historical Photos==
 The [https://www.rtrfoundation.org/newwebsite/imagesearch.php Image Database] on Miriam Weiner's website contains photographs and postcard views of many towns and cities throughout Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Lithuania, Poland, and other select countries dating back to the early 1900s. These include pre-WWI and current town views, photos of synagogues, Jewish cemeteries, and Holocaust memorials. It's a great way to see what your ancestor's shtetl may have looked like at the time they lived there.
