Shtetls and Shtots - Historically Yiddish Cities

I give you the country and the Yiddish, you then name the city that had a historically Yiddish-speaking community in it prior to the Holocaust and the Pogroms.

While the Yiddish will spell out the name of the city in that language, I am not looking for a transcription, but rather the romanization of the native name of the city (i.e. Barditcha would actually be Berdychiv)
