Monument – Bukovina Jewish Heritage Sites

Kyseliv Memorial – 14 July 2016 – by Baruch Eylon

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 at the Kyseliv Jewish Memorial for the 150 Kyseliv Jews that were murdered there in WWII – in the night of 29-30 July 1941 . The memorial is located in the fields far from the village.
The memorial was built approximately in 2006 by Mrs. Alti Rodal from Canada but the inscription on the memorial is no longer there. One of the pictures shows the inauguration ceremony.

The picture of the original memorial with the inscriptions was provided by Mr. Zvi Schwartzman. Thanks. Here it is.

Here are the pictures from there – the village and municipality, the team, the memorial, the local people that showed us around and a document with the list of victims.

This post provides pictures taken by the team in Berehomet. Until 1961 there was a Jewish cemetery in Berehomet, but then the authorities annihilated it and built there a factory. As of now most of the factory is neglected, and in its area a memorial room was built, with 3 symbolic graves/stones. Two memorial plaques are in the room.
We have met the head of the village who gave us a booklet that had a picture of the cemetery. Here is that picture:

Here are pictures of the team with the head of the village, the factory where the memorial room is, pictures from inside the memorial.
