On 11-15 July 2016 a delegation of the World Organization of Bukovina Jews traveled to North Bukovina for a pilot project to survey Jewish Heritage Sites in the area around Storozhynetz.
The team members were Sara Sweiry, Nathan Kinsbrunner and Baruch Eylon.
During this trip the team surveyed 12 heritage sites, met with local officials, filled the questionnaire (using a mobile application that allows capturing text and pictures, including GPS coordinates) and posted the information on the web, to make it available to all interested people around the world.
The team also prepared recommendations what to do in each site.
The filled survey about this site can be seen at

This post provides pictures taken by the team in the Banilov/Banila pe Siret Jewish Cemetery. To get to the cemetery you need to take the road near the municipality building towards the church, going to the forest.
I was there 3 years ago and it was impossible to get into the cemetery – it was so overgrown. This time the vegetation was cut and we could easily get around! What a nice surprise.
We were very well received by people of the municipality!
Moreover – bot Sara Sweiry and myself found gravestones of our family members!
The pictures of the cemetery are shown below.
The following picture is the gravestone of my mother’s family member.
The following picture is with ladies of the municipality.
