Dear Yossi, While we, those of us outside Israel, are following events in the region with bated breath and great concern for our relatives and friends, you are helping to overcome this kind of paralysis with the important project “Documenting the Jewish Cemetery of Radautz Bukovina”:
https://my.israelgives.org/en/fundme/RadautzCemeteryDoc You deserve our thanks and recognition for this. It is such an essential and urgent project if we bear in mind how quickly the traces of the Jewish heritage in Bukovina are falling into disrepair. This said, I'm asking all our members to actively and substantially support this project and at the same time I am very confident that this will happen. If we succeed in closing the gap and photographing the 2000 remaining gravestones and transcribing the inscriptions, then the Jewish heritage of Radautz will be among the best documented ever. The RADAUTZ VITAL RECORDS, in combination with the RADAUTZ JEWISH CEMETERY RECORDS, form a unique genealogical and historical resource: http://czernowitz.blogspot.com/2016/12/the-radautz-vital-records-index.html http://hauster.blogspot.com/2022/05/the-jewish-cemetery-of-radautz-4056-km.html Good luck! We can all use it so well when we think of the armed conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine.

As time passes, many cemeteries suffer from natural deterioration due to neglect. Several of these cemeteries are subject to man-made destruction too. Documenting these important Jewish heritage sites, as well as making that information freely available to the public, enhances our knowledge of Jewish history, preserves material evidence of it, and advances Jewish genealogy. This specific effort focuses on the Jewish cemetery of Radautz Bukovina (Radauti), in the northern part of modern-day Romania. This is where my father's family lived since the dawn of the 19th century. The cemetery was established in 1831 and is still active today, serving the very small Jewish population of today's Radautz. The first phase of the project began back in 2005 when a group of volunteers, using their private resources, repaired the cemetery fences, cleared the vegetation in most burial lots, and photographed about 60% of the headstones. Later, the texts on the photographed headstones were deciphered by me, and set into a database of burials, which in turn was made available to the public via JewishGen’s JOWBR website. These records included a representing image for each headstone handled. A detailed description of all work done up to the present is available at http://data.jewishgen.org/imagedata/jowbr/ROM-01899/ROM-01899-CemeteryDescription_replaceNov-2021.pdf. As an amateur genealogist, pensioner, having deep family roots in Radautz, I’ve decided to initiate and run the final phase of documenting the Jewish cemetery – for the benefit of the public.
