The Jewish Cemetery of Radautz
- Burial ground since 1831 for the Jewish communities of Radautz and its surroundings: Putna, Arbore, Solca, Brodina and others.
- About 7,000 graves on two hectares of sacred ground, 4 km out of town “on the way to Marginea”, the nearby village.
- The first identified grave, dated 1831, is of a cholera victim – the Schoichet (ritual slaughterer) Goldschlager.
- Inscriptions in German, Hebrew, Yiddish, Romanian and Ukrainian.
- Burial sections for post-WW2, inter-war and pre-WW1 graves, and then… the cholera plots, a historical “black hole”.
Radautz Cemetery 2005
“Radautz Cemetery 2005” is a joint reconstruction project of the Radautz diaspora and Israeli former Radautz residents. Progressively, we post on this web site grave identification, maps, photographs and deciphered inscriptions, for genealogical research and information for interested parties. Individual enquiries are welcome. See also the article in Die Stimme.
