The authorities in Czernowitz erected Jewish memorials. This is one of them, on Kobileanska St., one of the main streets in Czernowitz.
On 7-15 July 2015 a group of almost 90 people from Israel went on a journey on the path of the Holocaust of Romanian Jews, in Bukovina and Transnistria valley of death.
Mr. Ptachia Menkin and Mrs. Bruria Menkin took part in this journey, that was organized by the World Organization of Bukovina Jews and led by Mr. Yochanan Ron Singer and Mr. Dan Marian. The Menkins also visited this area previously in 2013, 2011 and 2005.
One of the places they visited was Tzibulevka in Transnistria, where they saw 3 monuments on the mass grave of Jews murdered in WWII. Among those victims were Bruria’s grand parents – Israel and Brana Margulis from Siret. Bruria’s mother has always cried that there is no grave of her beloved parents and finding this mass-grave has resolved her sorrow.
The monuments are in a corn field, approximately 1 Km from the village. Two monuments are close to each other and one is 50m away. The monuments are built on a stone basis.
Please note that there are 2 villages – Old and New Tzibulevka (Staraya Tzibulevka, Novaya Tzibulevka).
See below a map of the area and pictures of the monuments and visit also http://www.yadvashem.org/yv/he/research/ghettos_encyclopedia/ghetto_details.asp?cid=871 .
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 Bershad Memorial. 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“.
All his pictures taken in Bershad are at:

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.
