Mr. Ptachia Menkin and Mrs. Bruria Menkin took part in the July 2015 journey, on the path of the Holocaust of Romanian Jews, in Bukovina and Transnistria valley of death, that was organized by the World Organization of Bukovina Jews. The Menkins also visited this area previously in 2013, 2011 and 2005.
One of the places they visited in 2015 was the Jewish Cemetery in Siret, Romania.
See below pictures from 2015 from the Cemetery.

In July 2015 Edgar Hauster took his motorcycle ride for his “Motorcycle Ride to Czernowitz via Istanbul”. Amongst many places he visited on this long trip was the Budinetz-Chudey Jewish Cemetery. He wrote – A picture paints a thousand words. What about more than one thousand one hundred pictures? Let me share with all of you the “Photographic Supplement to my Motorcycle Ride to Czernowitz via Istanbul“.

In July 2015 I attended “The journey on the path of Romanian Jews Holocaust and the valley of death – Transnistria”. In 2006, I also participated in a “Roots journey” to North Bukovina, that was organized by Mr. Danny Marian.
I think the current trip is the first historical event (and hopefully not the last !).
The mass murder of North Bukovina and Bessarabia Jews was in July 1941, in which approximately 120,000 Jews were murdered.
The Village Chudey (Czudyn)
In early July 1941, all Jews in the Northern Bukovina village Chudey were murdered by the Romanian army.
In this journey, I felt it is a sacred duty to locate the place of the murder of the Chudey and Budinetz Jews.
Budinetz (Budineti)
Just a few kilometers from Chudey, along the road bordering the woods, we saw a Star of David (Magen David) made of concrete, with a sign – a small plaque in memory of the murder site. Further details are in the file in the link below.

The Village Chudey (Czudyn)
In early July 1941, all Jews in the Northern Bukovina village Chudey were murdered by the Romanian army.
In this journey, I felt it is a sacred duty to locate the place of the murder of the Chudey Jews. On July 10th 2015 I hired a taxi (a Hebrew-speaking driver) in Czernowitz and after a few hours ride and searches we got to the murder site, in the center of the village / town. Many of the village residents did not know or want to provide information about the murder site.
Our findings are detailed in the attached file:
1. Photos from murder site.
2. The building that housed the court house – the “GERICHT” and the prison.
The Jews were assembled in this village and killed.
Dr. Fanny Wald, in her book “My victory – Memories”, in the chapter “The Romanians return to control of our region“, in pages 23-34 – “Pogrom” mentions this event. and brings a very important and exclusive testimony about this event. This book was published by her family in a limited edition.
Note: The 2015 Yad Vashem work plan included publication of the book (it was budgeted), and its publication is still under review.
