>> Today is a significant day for Bukovina, its capital - Chernivtsi, and especially for the Jewish community. In the hall of the Jewish house on the Theater Square gathered members of the Jewish community led by the chief rabbi Menachem Medla Glitsnstein and the chairman of the Jewish community of Chernivtsi region Leonid Milman, the head of the Chernivtsi Regional State Administration Sergey Osachuk, the deputy chairman of the Chernovitsky City Council Yuri Lesyuk and the secretary of the city council Sergey Dobrzhansky, representatives of institutions and public organizations of the region, employees of management structures. High foreign guests arrived - head of the European Rabbi Center Arye Goldberg, chief rabbi of Ukraine Moshe Asman, representatives of the Chief Rabbi.
>> 80 years ago, the Nazis committed a terrible crime - a Jewish ghetto was created in Chernivtsi on a shred of land of the city, where about 50 thousand Chernivtsi Jews were detained and detained under inhuman conditions. We recall the tragic events of the Holocaust, mockery, humiliation and death, expulsion and deportation of survivors from the ghetto to Transnistria camps. The head of Chernivtsi Regional State Administration Sergey Dmitrievich Osachuk spoke with pain and excitement, and his feelings and trembling words reached the heart of every present. We are experiencing shock and pain, listening and studying in the stories of eyewitnesses, their children, historians-researchers of this tragedy. We believe that reporting full information and awareness of this crime by all is a guarantee that this will never happen again. This is exactly the goal of the project ′′ GHETTO CZERNOWITZ ′′ that started today. He was presented by the coordinator of the project - head of the public organization ′′ Jewish heritage of Bukovina ", head of the Chernivtsi regional state administration, doctor of legal sciences Sergey Nezhurbida.
>> And at the same time, with sadness and pain, recalling the past, we must do what fills the breath of life, hope for the best and faith in the irreversibility of the horrors of human hate. This is exactly the meaning that took place today, 80 years after the creation of the Jewish ghetto in Chernivtsi, the opening of the office of the ′′ European center Hesed ′′ on the 3th floor of the Jewish House on Theater Square. This project aims to provide material assistance to those in need of rehabilitation, auxiliary medical, household and other equipment - strollers, walkers, baby care facilities, oxygen concentrators and much more. Such offices that provide assistance to those in need of rehabilitation equipment, as the Chief Rabbi of Ukraine Moshe Osman, who came to this exciting event, have been opened by the European Rabbi Center in 15 settlements of Ukraine. Chief Rabbi Menachem Mendle Glitznstein, to whom this equipment was transferred, emphasized at the opening of the office that the memory of the tragedies should be crowned with specific good deeds. The Rabbi hoped that everyone would be healthy and not need these devices, but emphasized the importance of such charity activities of the ′′ Hesed European Center ", such invaluable help, and expressed great gratitude to its leaders.
