Budinetz Murder Site – by Avraham Iwanir

In July 2015 I attended “The journey on the path of Romanian Jews Holocaust and the valley of death – Transnistria”. In 2006, I also participated in a “Roots journey” to North Bukovina, that was organized by Mr. Danny Marian.

I think the current trip is the first historical event (and hopefully not the last !).

The mass murder of North Bukovina and Bessarabia Jews was in July 1941, in which approximately 120,000 Jews were murdered.

The Village Chudey (Czudyn)

In early July 1941, all Jews in the Northern Bukovina village Chudey were murdered by the Romanian army.

In this journey, I felt it is a sacred duty to locate the place of the murder of the Chudey and Budinetz Jews.

Budinetz (Budineti)

Just a few kilometers from Chudey, along the road bordering the woods, we saw a Star of David (Magen David) made of concrete, with a sign – a small plaque in memory of the murder site. Further details are in the file in the link below.
