My father and I traveled to Chudey Ukraine in June, 2019. The cemetery has been fenced by ESJF – see: https://www.esjf-cemeteries.org/project/chudey/. I documented about 200 headstone that are now available on the JOWBR database. See https://www.jewishgen.org/databases/cemetery/jowbrshow.php?ID=UKR-08332
Here is the list of the headstones
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 Jewish Cemetery and at the memorial in Chudey, for Jews that were murdered in WWII . The memorial is located in the school near the center of the village. In that place, in WWII, were the prison and court. The cemetery is out of the village along the road, opposite to the Christian cemetery.
The memorial was built by the authorities approximately in 2006.
Here are the pictures taken by the team at the 2 sites.

The memorial at the school – that’s where the court and the prison were.
The Jewish Cemetery
Rabbi of Chernivtsi – Menachem Glisnshtain has provided the following photo of the Jewish cemetery in Chudei.
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“.
All his pictures taken in Budinetz-Chudey 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 Northern Bukovina and Bessarabia Jews was conducted 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 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.
