The German Army entered Bukachevtsy on July 3, 1941.
Many Jewish residents were sent to the ghetto in nearby
Rohatyn. From there many were killed and buried in a
mass grave in Rohatyn, while the majority were sent to the
Belzec death camp. There were three separate "Aktions,"
September 21, 1942 (Yom Kippur), October 26, 1942, and
January 19, 1943.

Memorial to those who were murdered in Rohatyn

The Rohatyn Holocaust memorial is in the middle of a field, on
the outskirts of town. There is one marker, in Cyrillic, which
commemorates the Soviet citizens who died during World War II,
with no mention of Jews. The more recent monument, put up by
Israelis, commemorates the 3500 Jews from Rohatyn and surrounding
communities who were killed by the Germans in March 1942.

The inscription, translated by Beverly Shulster Beiman, reads
In
Eternal Memory:
This stone will be a monument to the memories of our
blessed parents, brothers, sisters, wives and children (may
God avenge their deaths) from the city of BUKASHEVITZ and the
vicinity (Galicia, Eastern Poland) who were murdered and
slaughtered by the Nazis and their henchmen (may their names
be wiped from memory) in the years of the Shoa, 5701-5704
[1940-1943] May their souls be bound up in the bond of life.
