Turka is a Ukrainian town situated on the left bank of the river Stryi. Jews first came to Turka in the 1800s. The first synagogue, Jewish cemetery and the Jewish old age home were built in 1730. In 1903, Turka began to flourish when a railway line connected the city with Lwow and with Budapest, and the Austrian government authorized the founding of an official Jewish community. Business expanded, especially the lumber business. Jews owned the sawmills, had licenses to sell liquor. Others worked at various trades - tailoring, shoemaking, barbering, clock making, and lock smithing. Many of the physicians and lawyers in Turka were Jews. Yiddish theatre came to Turka and interest was sparked in cultural events, sports events, and political events. Some Jews were Zionists, some were Hassids, some were socialists, and some were assimilationists. After the Great War, Galicia reverted to Poland, the city had been plundered by the Russian army; many Jews had left, and all Jewish property had been destroyed. There were Ukrainian revolts and Jewish pogroms. Nevertheless, after the War, there were approximately 6,000 inhabitants in Turka, 41% of whom were Jewish. Another 7,000 Jews lived in the surrounding villages. The Jewish population managed to rebuild. Just prior to World War II, 10,000 people lived in Turka; half were Jewish. The catastrophe began when the Germans turned against the Soviet Union in June 1941 and Turka was captured by the Wehrmacht. The Jews of Turka were massacred, or starved to death, or sent to the Sambir ghetto and, hence, to the crematoria. There are no Jews left in Turka today. This book serves as a memorial to the Jewish community of Turka. It should be if interest to researchers and descendants of the town.

Turka, Ukraine is located at: 49 09' North Latitude and 23 02' East Longitude Alternate names for the town are: Turka Polish, Ukrainian], Turka al nehar Stry Hebrew], Turka and Stryjem

Suomalaisruotsalainen Felix Kersten oli syntynyt Dorpatissa, Tartossa.

 https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tartu

Eduard Alexander Felix Kersten, född 30 september 1898 i Dorpat i dåvarande Kejsardömet Ryssland, död 16 april 1960 i Hamm i Tyskland, var Heinrich Himmlers massör.^[1]

Biografi

Kersten var av tysk-baltisk släkt från Estland. Då första världskriget bröt ut 1914, befann han sig i Tyskland på agronomutbildning. Han tog då värvning i den tyska armén, deltog vid Dardanellerna och Verdun, och kom i juni 1918 till Finland i samband med finska inbördeskriget. Han blev finsk medborgare och hamnade i den finska armén som han lämnade som fänrik 1922. I samband med en sjukhusvistelse i Helsingfors 1919 började han att praktisera massage och erhöll senare utbildning av Finlands då främste specialist inom området, dr Paul Colander.^[2]

Kersten flyttade till Berlin 1922 för fortsatt massageutbildning. Han kom i lära hos en kinesisk-tibetansk lama, dr Ko, som hade Berlins samhällselit som sin kundkrets. 1925 lämnade Ko Tyskland och lät Kersten ta över sin praktik. Kersten kom snart att utvidga sin kundkrets med medlemmar i den holländska kungafamiljen, bland andra Prins Henrik och öppnade en praktik i Haag. I mars 1939 blev han kallad till SS-högkvarteret i Berlin för att behandla Heinrich Himmlers magbesvär. Utan att ha några kända nazistiska sympatier kom han att verka som SS-ledarens personliga massör fram till krigsslutet. Under behandlingarna lyckades han vinna Himmlers förtroende och intervenera för gamla vänner och patienter som hade fängslats, och fick flera personer frigivna eller benådade från dödsstraff, enligt hans egen utsago bland annat förre holländske premiärministern Hendrikus Colijn.^[3] Från 1943 kom Kersten även att vistas längre perioder i Sverige, först inbjuden av Svenska Tändsticksaktiebolagets VD Axel Brandin, efter det att Kersten hade engagerat sig för de så kallade Warszawasvenskarna, en grupp svenskar som arbetade i Polen och som fungerade som kurirer mellan den polska motståndsrörelsen och den polska exilregeringen i London. Genom sitt inflytande hos Himmler kunde Kersten rädda svenskarna från avrättning. I andra världskrigets slutskede anordnade Kersten ett möte mellan Himmler och en företrädare för Judiska världskongressen, Norbert Masur.^[4] Himmler gick med på att släppa cirka 7 000 kvinnliga fångar från Ravensbrück.

Kersten har beskrivit sin tid som Himmlers massör i boken Samtal med Himmler. Kersten spelade en avgörande roll i att operationen med de vita bussarna kom till stånd i vilken tusentals fångar transporterades från tyska läger till Sverige. Efter kriget blev han mycket upprörd över Folke Bernadottes bok om räddningsinsatsen, där Kersten knappt omnämndes. Själve kung Gustaf V kallade till sig Felix Kersten vid två tillfällen och uppmanade denna att tona ned sin roll vad beträffar räddningsinsatsen. Hans memoarer, vars sanningshalt på många punkter starkt ifrågasatts, bland annat hans uppgift om att han förhindrade en tysk plan att deportera hela det holländska folket österut. Senare forskning har visat att någon sådan deportationsplan aldrig existerade.^[5] Kersten avled på sjukhus i Tyskland efter att ha drabbats av en hjärtinfarkt under en bilfärd på tyska Autobahn på väg till Paris där han skulle emottaga Hederslegionen av president Charles de Gaulle.

Holländska regeringsledamöter föreslog under åtta år Felix Kersten som kandidat till Nobels fredspris. Felix Kersten utnämndes till storofficer Oranien-Nassauorden och tilldelades det nederländska Röda Korsets silvermedalj av Prins Bernhard.

Efter kriget bosatte sig Kersten i Sverige, men först efter att ha utretts av Socialstyrelsen beviljades han år 1953 svenskt medborgarskap. Kersten förvärvade efter kriget en liten egendom i Länna, cirka 15 km söder om Strängnäs. Han är begravd på Länna kyrkogård tillsammans med sin hustru Irmgard (född Neuschäfer) (1909–2004).

Enligt Judiska världskongressen medverkade Kersten till att rädda över 60 000 judiska fångar från nazisternas förintelse- och koncentrationsläger.^[6]

SRTYI kaupunki ja joki

https://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages%5CS%5CT%5CStryiRiver.htm 

Stryi joki on Dnjestrin oikeanpuolinen sivuhaara. Stryi on 232 km pitkä ja yläjuoksua on provinsin eteläisessä osassa. Sen vesistöalue kattaa 3055 neliökilometria. Alkulähteet ovat Karpaateilla

Stryi River [Стрий; Stryj]. (Map: Stryi River.) A right-bank tributary of the Dnister River that flows for 232 km through southern Lviv oblast and drains a basin area of 3,055 sq km. The river originates in the High Beskyd and initially has a mountainous character. It is 30–50 m wide in its upper reaches and up to 150 m wide downstream. The river is fed by meltwater and has been known to flood. It is used for industrial and water-supply purposes. A hydroelectric station and water reservoir (200 million cu m) have been built on the waterway. Some major centers located along the river are Turka, Stryi, and Zhydachiv.

High Beskyd [Високий Бескид; Vysokyi Beskyd]. (Map: Carpathian Mountains, Division.) Name of that part of the Beskyds—the outer flysch belt of the Ukrainian Carpathian Mountains—lying between the imaginary line joining Turka and Boryslav in the west and the Mizunka River valley in the east, and between the limits of the Carpathians in the north and the Middle-Carpathian Depression in the south.

The High Beskyd has an area of about 2,000 sq km and begins rising from an elevation of 300–400 m. It is lowest in its northern part—the highest peak there is Mount Tsukhovyi Dil (942 m)—where a banded structure has been created by longitudinal sandstone ridges and parallel valleys, wide depressions, and small hollows (Verkhnie Syniovydne and Mizunka) carved out of soft schists and clays. The rounded and uniform mountains there are quite densely populated (60 inhabitants per sq km) and deforested (24 percent of the land area is cultivated, 38 percent is pasture and hayfields, and only 35 percent is forest).

South of the longitudinal Stryi River valley the High Beskyd attains elevations of 1,100 m and up. There the highest peaks are Mount Parashka (1,271 m), Mount Zelemianka (1,267 m), and Magura Ridge (1,368 m) (see Magura mountains). Narrow and deep transverse valleys (such as the Opir, Sukil, and Mizunka river valleys), which intersect the longitudinal valleys, predominate. The mountain tops have a sharper definition and are often denuded. Forests consisting mostly of spruce still cover 70 percent of the area, and the population density is lower (30 inhabitants per sq km).

The High Beskyd has long been inhabited by the ethnographic group of the Boikos. (Until 1941 Poles and Jews each constituted 10 percent of the population.) The main occupations are crop cultivation (rye, potatoes, and oats) and animal husbandry, logging and woodworking industry, and, in the Boryslav region, petroleum extraction (see Petroleum industry). Cities (Boryslav, Bolekhiv) lie on the mountains’ periphery. In the interior the main centers are Skole (woodworking), Skhidnytsia (petroleum), Verkhnie Syniovydne (woodworking), and the resorts of the Opir Valley—Hrebeniv, Tukhlia, Slavske, and Zelemianka.
