Ostropol ((ウクライナ語: Остропіль)), also known as ''Staryy Ostropil'', is a small town on the Sluch River located in the Khmelnytskyi Oblast about 133 miles (222 km) WSW of Kiev, Ukraine. It is located at latitude 49°48' N, longitude 27°34' E and is situated at an altitude of 742.5 feet (225 m). The town of Lyubar is 11.1 miles (18.5 km) from Ostropol. Ostropol was an important Jewish center in the 17th century and was mentioned in many contemporary texts including the birthplace of the noted Rabbi, Kabbalist and martyr Samson ben Pesah Ostropoli. A great deal of immigration began in the late 19th century and through the early 20th century. The hero of Jewish humor, Hershele Ostropoler, was from that town. There are two cemeteries, one across the street from the other. Both are in a dilapidated condition. ==External links== * (OSTROPOL SITE ) Website devoted to the Jewish Community of Ostropol up to the mid 20th century. * (MAPS OF UKRAINE ) Click "Map covering area around Krasyliv and Starokostyantyniv". * (The murder of the Jews of Ostropol ) during World War II, at Yad Vashem website. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ostropol」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
