Come in stranger, you are welcome to the Jewish cemetery.
If you are Jewish and from Czernowitz you have ancestors here.
Come in, look them up.
I see you haven't been here for a long time.
Light a candle and tell them you are here ,finally.
This will make them happy.
Look up the mass graves:
Turkish soldiers from the First world war.
Austrian soldiers too.
Rumanian & Lipovans shot by the Soviets in 1941 , trying to flee.
Jews shot by the Romanians in the Holocaust , in1941.
See the wailing wall built from headstones smashed by vandals.
See the Eliezer Steinbarg tomb with the Kolnik monument.
See the Mausoleums of the rich with the marble obelisks.
See the humble headstones of the poor - covered with moss.
If you don’t have any here ,or can't find their graves don’t be
sad.
Adopt a grave, any grave.
Make it a neglected one with no signs of recent visits.
Read the name and date , maybe it's your relative .
Finished , want to go ?
How long have you spent here ? Sixty minutes ? More ?
Enough - you say ?
After not being here for fifty years ?
Come in stranger,
to the Jewish cemetery of Horecea ,
Czernowitz township , Bukovina
