Cariera de Piatra – Romanian for stone quarry – was a Romanian concentration camp near the village of Ladyzhyn, were Jews – mainly from Czernowitz and Dorohoi – were forced to work. Sylvia (who traveled with Christian) believes that her mother was a temporarily inmate here. The living conditions in the camp were known as especially brutal and humiliating.

Bratslav (Breslov) is the origin of one of the most famous Hasidic dynasties. Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav was a great-grandson of the Baal Shem Tov, the founder of Hasidism, and one of the major spiritual Jewish leaders of his time. He died not in Bratslav but in Uman where he was also buried. Nevertheless Bratslav is an important target for Hasidic pilgrims. Thousands visit the town and the Jewish cemetery with its gravestones – dating back to the 18th century – every year, especially those who make a pilgrimage to the grave of rabbi Nathan Sternhartz (Nathan of Breslov), a student of rabbi Nachman. The cemetery is located on the banks of river Bug and offers spectacular views.
We walked along river Bug and visited the synagogue, which has recently been returned to the Jewish community. Over decades it was part of a brewery, soon it will be a synagogue again. At the cemetery we saw a well organised infrastructure for pilgrims. There is a gift shop and we saw Hasidic pilgrims arrive.
Here are pictures of the Jewish Cemetery in Bratslav, provided by Christian – who visited the place in June 2015.
Bershad is a town in western Ukraine.
[From JewishGen]: The Ukrainian village of Bershad had the tragic fame of holding first place among the murder camps for Jews of Bukovina and Bessarabia in Transnistria, for the number of victims as well as in view of the animalization of the German and Romanian officials whose sadistic barbarity by chance was exercised the most here.
The following pictures of the Bershad Holocaust Memorial were provided by
Mrs. Kate Powers. Thanks.
