האילן ושורשיו

A memorial book containing articles and excerpts from books by natives of the Jewish villages Trochenbrod and Lozisht (now Sofiyivka and Ignatovka (Hnativka), Ukraine), two Jewish agricultural colonies founded during the 19th century in response to restrictive Russian legislation on Jewish settlement. Includes a survey of 19th-century Russian anti-Jewish legislation, memoirs from the Holocaust period, a list of Holocaust victims, and descriptions of activities to commemorate these communities in Israel.
