History of Vladimirets

Vladimirets was a typical Jewish shtetl in the Pale of Settlement. The 1939 census shows a thriving Jewish community with 1,377 members -- today there are no Jews left from pre-WWII. The town may be listed under Ukraine, Poland, Russia (USSR), or Belarus (White Russia). Variations on the name include: Vladimerec, Vlodimiretz (Yiddish), Wladimirets (German), Volodymyrets (Ukranian) and Wlodzimierzec (Polish). It is also often confused with Vladmir Volynsk or Vladymir Volinskij (Russian) because it is the Vladimirets in the Volyn region. The towns also have similar names in Yiddish, which has added to the confusion.
