Probizhna
Ukraine, Ukraine
Probizhna is a small village in Chortkiv Raion, Ternopil Oblast, Ukraine, part of the Kolyndiany urban hromada, with roots in the historic Galicia region under Austria-Hungary in the 19th-early 20th centuries.
First mentioned in 1569 for its Jewish community, which peaked at around 1,200 residents (over 40% of the population) by 1900, featuring synagogues, a cemetery, and rabbis like Avrom-Yakov Gorvitz, it saw Zionist activity, Hebrew courses, and U.S. immigration in the late 19th century before Nazi occupation in 1941 led to deportations to Belzec and Kopychyntsi ghetto.
Today, it preserves remnants like a ruined 19th-century synagogue and Jewish cemetery, reflecting its multicultural past amid rural Podilia landscapes, with ties to figures like Elias Kubrick, grandfather of filmmaker Stanley Kubrick.
