Dear fellow Czernowitzers, this was send to the Rom-SIG on JewishGen:
An important new project has been announced by Brooke Schreier Ganz, to
clean up and document the Jewish cemetery in Storojinets formerly in
Bukovina, now Stororzhynets in Ukraine. It is only 12 miles/20km
southwest of Czernowitz (Chernivtsi).
No 18th or 19th Jewish century records are known to have survived from here,
just a few early 20th century ones. But the cemetery has 18th, 19th and
20th
century burials, and it is in decent shape. Smaller Bukovinian towns may
have also used this cemetery.
Brooke's project is raising money to document it all, photograph and
transcribe everything. They are raising money. All photos and data
will be made available as public domain, and will also be sent to
JOWBR, and anyone else who wants it! Student interns from the
Chernivtsi Museum of History and Culture of Bukovinian Jews are doing
the work, riding 45 minutes to the site. They will be taking at least 2
photos of every tombstone, and will even mark the locations on a
newly-created map of the whole cemetery (section,row,number).
The newer half of the cemetery is in very good shape, but the older half
is full of weeds. The money needed to be raised (about $2000.) will be
to pay for the clean up of the weedy area, and also includes the cost of
eventual transcription/translation work. And all donations are tax
deductible through JewishGen! Here is the link to the Rom-SIG
JewishGen-erosity site so you can make those donations to the
Storojinets Cemetery Documentation Project :
