on Dubovo as based on a forum discussion

 Hana Gonen writes that her grandfather survived the pogroms in Dubovo. She adds that their home library contains the book "Megilat Dubovo" ("Scroll of Dubovo") telling about the complete destruction of the shtetl by the pogromers. The same information is told by a user named "Dezira". She says that she found the book "Megilat Dubovo" in the book shop of Itamar in the Israeli settlement Tzrufa that possibly contains more books on the shtetl. Hana Gonen's father, Yossi haLahmi, lists the following sources of information on the shtetl: 

1. "Megilat Dubovo" - author Rakhil Feigenberg, publishing house "Laam", 1940, 159 pages. The introduction contains the history of the place since its foundation in 1789, the situation of the Jews during the World War I and after it, an exact blood-curdling description of the pogroms and the destruction of the Jewish settlement. 

2. Childhood recollections by the famous writer from Dubovo Miki Yosef Berdichesvsky, son of the rabbi. 

3.  Childhood recollections by Tzvi Kozodoy on pages 216-230 of the fourth volume of the book "Reshumot" ("Notes") that was published in 1925 by the publishing house  "Dvir". 

4. Recollections by the grandmother of Hana Gonen about the pogrom in Dubovo she lived through. 

Besides, Yossi haLahmi informs that part of the Jews went to Odessa, a part to America and a part made "Aliyah" to Israel. In Odessa Moshe Shwartzman - that was doing bicycles - and who did his very best to save the shtetl people but unsuccessfully,  tried to raise the people from the shtetl but failed. He also says that Miki Yosef's father, rabbi Moshe Aharon Berdichevsky, was killed in a humilating way and he was buried by his murderers also in a humiliating way, which influenced the untimely death of one of the greatest Jewish writers of the time. Dezira adds that the descendants of the Berdichevsky family today live in a kibbutz Afikim. She also tells that her grandmother, who was from the Kaminsky family, was 6 after the pogroms when she moved to Odessa. Her father had a mill in Dubovo. Besides it is said in the forum that after the pogrom no Jews remained in the shtetl - those who survived fled. In about 2000 the shtetl was renamed to Dubova.
