Bohorodchany
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bohorodchany (Ukrainian: Богородчани, Polish: Bohorodczany) is a small town in Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast, several miles from Stanislav. It is currently located in Ukraine, although it has previously belonged to Poland, and before that, Austro-Hungary. Bohorodchany is also known by its Yiddish name, Brotchin. A first-hand description of Jewish life in Bohorodchany pre-World War II can be found in the autobiography of Mark Hasten, who grew up there.
It is the administrative center of the Bohorodchanskyi Raion.
