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.

Campulung (Kimpolung) Jewish Cemetery – by Mr. Joseph Klein (Iulku)

Mr. Joseph Klein is from Campulung and after a Root’s Journey to his home-town (in the early 2000’s), he (the Chair), Eng. E. Spetter and the Board of Directors of the Jewish community in Campolung and surroundings have decided to document the Jewish cemetery there.

They hired a local person who prepared a diagram of the cemetery (3 pages, holding 976 graves), gave numbers to each grave and then prepared a table listing the grave number, the name of the person buried and the year of death. The list has 6 pages.

If you are looking for a specific person’s grave, find his/her name in the table, get the grave number and with that number, find it in the cemetery map.

Both diagrams and lists are sorted by grave number.

Unfortunately the documents – diagrams and lists – are not the originals thus their quality is not very high, but it’s good enough to help people locate their loved ones.

The diagrams and lists can be found in the link below.

People that read Hebrew and have interest in this area may want to look at the excerpts of the book about this community. See 3 parts of it in the links below.
