From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Jewish community of Brody (a city in the Lviv region of western Ukraine) was one of the oldest and best-known Jewish communities in the western part of Ukraine (and formerly in Austrian Empire / Poland up to 1939). The Jewish community of Brody perished in the Holocaust in 1942–1943. During the 19th century, Brody was the second-largest city in East Galicia (after Lviv (Lemberg)), with the highest proportion of the Jewish population (88%) among Eastern European cities.
