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 .
