Galicia: What Every Galitziana Should Know
Shelley Pollero & Renee Steinig
Galicia, the largest Province in the Austrian Empire was formed by the partition of Poland in 1772, and was bordered by Moravia to the west, the Russian Empire to the north and east, and Hungary and Moldavia to the south. By the mid 1800s, Jews comprised about 10 percent of the population and were the third largest religious group. Notably, Galicia was the center of Hasidism.
