On March 20, 1942, thousands of Jews were rounded up and brought to the Rohatyn train plaza. From there, the Jews were loaded onto trucks and sent off to be murdered and buried en masse.
As they were being ushered forward, many saw a chance to save a child. That child was Donia.
On that day, Donia promised to find a way to remember those people and to bring her town "back to life." She acquired the permission from the Rohatyn Society to have the town's Yizkor Book translated so that it maybe accessible to survivors, their families, and historians.
Donia collected biographies of the contributors and new memoirs. She recorded speeches and photos from the Rohatyn Society's two visits to Rohatyn in the 1990's.
Together, these form the contents of Remembering Rohatyn and its Environs; a testimony and commemoration for those who saved a grateful young girl.
