Czernowitzers...
The Düsseldorf Jewish Community published in the January edition of her monthly magazine "Unsere Gemeinde" [Our Community] two articles [German/Russian] on "The Monument at the Mass Grave Site in Kyseliv and Borivtsy":

Basing on Alti Rodal's deeply heart-touching report on the massacre of Kyseliv on 07.07.1941 and on my research trip effected in May 2011, Jerome created an outstanding Ehpes Memorial Page, containing the full story, photographs and additional background information:

During a meeting with good friends of mine, Michael Kleimann and his wife Lena from Düsseldorf, the Kyseliv story became a - very sad - subject of our discussion. Deeply shocked by these events, the massacre itself and the vandalizaltion of the monument as well, Michael was able to engage the Düsseldorf Jewish Community for releasing these articles and inviting me for an additional lecture on this subject.
Kudos to you Alti, Jerome and Michael and I'd like to resume by quoting the preliminary note from the above mentioned Memorial Page:
Let these pages standing in cyberspace show that history cannot be changed by destroying the physical symbol of the event. The souls of the murdered Jews of Kyseliv and Borivtsyi inhabit the space forever!
