Many thanks to Christian Herrmann who is researching, traveling, photographing and providing very valuable information about many Jewish Heritage Sites in Bukovina, Transnistria and Bessarabia.

Cariera de Piatra – Romanian for stone quarry – was a Romanian concentration camp near the village of Ladyzhyn, were Jews – mainly from Czernowitz and Dorohoi – were forced to work. Sylvia (who traveled with Christian) believes that her mother was a temporarily inmate here. The living conditions in the camp were known as especially brutal and humiliating.

Here are pictures of Cariera de Piatra, provided by Christian – who visited the place in June 2015.
