The Austrian Jewish soldiers obviously must have died in W.W.1 since during
the 2nd W.W. there was no Austrian Army! Cornel

Subject: [Cz-L] Mass graves
In my inquiry about mass graves at cemetery I adressed Josef Bursuc at the
Chesed Shushana
and got an answer in Russian.( not signed by Josef).
One riddle is solved -
1. the Austrian were jewish soldiers.
2.The "Turks" were Moslems who fought for Russia.
3.The Rumanians were buried an empty area with no jewish graves
The question still remains as to why 2. and 3. were buried at the
Jewish cem.
Here is the auto translation:
At the Jewish cemetery in Chernovtsy Street. Green 3 has a site where
burying the dead soldiers:
1. In the center of the cemetery there is an alley, where buried 81
Jewish soldiers fought for Austria, who died during ?-Second World War.
In 1926 the Jewish community in Chernivtsi found 81 stone epitaph. 2
years ago, in 2007, the Austrian Government began its restoration. To date,
the restoration work is almost completed.
2. In the north-eastern corner of the cemetery there is a common grave
33 Muslims who fought in(za means for H.B)Russia and killed during ?-Second
World War. Monument to the Jewish community was established in 1939 with the
inscription: "War-Muslims who died in World War 1914 - 1918 years"
3. On the territory of the Jewish cemetery, at the beginning of the
left, the entrance to the street. Lubyanskoy, ball free land, where there
was no Jewish graves. In this "free land" and in 1942 during ? ?-Second
World War were buried 400 Romanian citizens who lost their lives in our
area.
In 2008, Romania has the graves of those in order, found it a memorial
to those who died of war.
On the map of the cemetery are marked:
20 Graves Austrian Jewish soldiers;
118 common grave Muslim soldiers;
121 burials of the Romanian citizens.
