    Biography
    Rava-Ruska (Ukrainian: Рава-Руська, translit. Rava-Rus'ka; Polish: Rawa Ruska; Yiddish: ראווע‎, Rave) is a city in Zhovkva Raion, Lviv Oblast of western Ukraine. It is a border town between Ukraine and Poland. The border checkpoint is situated 8 km (5 mi) west of the city, along the international autoroute Warsaw-Lviv. On 14 September 1939, during the Invasion of Poland, Rawa-Ruska was captured by the Wehrmacht. The German troops left the town within days in accordance with the German-Soviet Frontier Treaty, and Rava-Ruska was occupied by the Soviet forces. A year and a half later, it was again recaptured by the Germans on the 28 June 1941 during the German attack on the Soviet positions in eastern Poland which marked the beginning of Operation Barbarossa. The Ukrainian People's Militia was formed. The town was incorporated into the General Government territory. The Judenrat was established in July 1941.There were 7,120 Jews in Rawa In March 1942 the nearby Bełżec extermination camp began its killing operations, and at the end of the month the first Holocaust train with 1,000 Jews left Rawa Ruska for Bełżec.[3] Many Jewish residents were killed at Belzec in further deportations. Approximately 5,000 Polish Jews from Rava-Ruska were shot during a liquidation "Aktion" between 7 and 11 December 1942. The last execution of Jews occurred in June 1943, during which 300-400 Jews were executed in a forest outside the village.
    After World War II, the Polish community of Rava-Ruska was forced to abandon the town and move to the Recovered Territories. Nevertheless, Rava-Ruska remains one of the key centres of the Polish minority in Ukraine, with the local office of the Association of Polish Culture of the Lviv Land operating here.
