Stanesti de Jos (Stanivtsi) Jewish Cemetery – 14 July 2016 – by Baruch Eylon

On 11-15 July 2016 a delegation of the World Organization of Bukovina Jews traveled to North Bukovina for a pilot project to survey Jewish Heritage Sites in the area around Storozhynetz. The team members were Sara Sweiry, Nathan Kinsbrunner and Baruch Eylon.

During this trip the team surveyed 12 heritage sites, met with local officials, filled the questionnaire (using a mobile application that allows capturing text and pictures, including GPS coordinates) and posted the information on the web, to make it available to all interested people around the world.

The team also prepared recommendations what to do in each site.
The filled survey about this site can be seen at

This post provides pictures taken by the team at the Jewish Cemetery in Stanesti de Jos / Stanivtsi. The cemetery – a very big one, probably at least 1,000 tombstones, is located in the fields out of the village. The vegetation is so high the only the tips of the tombstones can be seen (When you know you’re near the cemetery). A lady from the village took us there.

Mr. Irving Osterer from Ottawa, Canada has also posted about Stanesti de Jos. You can see his post at:
