This sizeable cemetery was in pretty good shape with tombstones that commemorated victims of the forced march to Transnistria. A survivor, Isaac Beer, took us there, whose photo I later saw in the book, The Last Jews of Radauti . He wanted to show us the memorial sculpture that had been placed there in memory of the Jews who perished in the camps. Source: Freda Brock; This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

[Mar 2013] Jewish history of Rădăuţi: "A Jewish community was present before the Habsburg takeover, and is attested to have been overseen by a starost. Many Jews fleeing the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria (as well as other Habsburg areas) from intense persecution and anti-Semitism during the Middle Ages settled in Rădăuţi. The community was allowed a degree of self-administration, and witnessed a period of prosperity and cultural effervescence during the 19th century. The majority of Rădăuţi's Jewish population was exterminated during the Holocaust. Persecutions became widespread around 1938, when Jews were harassed and attacked by authorities under the Octavian Goga government; they were confirmed by anti-Semitic legislation passed by the Ion Gigurtu cabinet, and, in late 1940, exceptionally violent following the establishment of the National Legionary State. In October 1941, all Jews present in Rădăuţi (more than 10,000) were deported to concentration camps in Transnistria." [Mar 2013] Jewish history.

The last known Jewish burial in cemetery was in May 15, 1999 (Navrotchi Fani). The unlandmarked Conservative cemetery was 2 km from the congregation that used it. Putna (Suceava judet); Solca (Suceava judet); and Arbore (Suceava judet) also used this cemetery. The isolated urban flat land has no sign or marker. Reached by turning directly off a public road, access is open with permission. A continuous masonry wall and a gate that locks surround. The pre- and post-WWII size is 500 m X 300 m. More than 5,000 graves are visible in the cemetery. 1 to 20 are not in original location. More than 75% are toppled or broken. Vegetation overgrowth is a seasonal problem, preventing access. Water drainage is good all year. No special sections. Gravestones date from the end of the 18th century through the 20th century. Marble, granite, limestone, sandstone, and other material are rough stones or boulders, flat shaped stones, finely smoothed and inscribed stones, and flat stones with carved relief double tombstones and multistone monuments. Inscriptions are in Hebrew, Yiddish, Polish, German, and Romanian. The cemetery contains monuments to Holocaust victims and Jewish soldiers. The cemetery contains a marked mass grave.
