Holocaust Memorial in Nepolokivtsi

Copyright © Ben Walker and Fred Schneider 2010

Three victims are identified (by Ben Walker): The three brothers - Avrum Zimmer and the twins Elias and Shaya Zimmer. The circumstances of the murder as described by Ben Walker: "They were working in the Lumber Company- the major employer in NEP. On their way home they were arrested by the fascist Romanian police, thrown in jail, where they were all murdered for no reason than being Jewish."

"Here rest 36 Jews from Nepolokivtsi tortured and shot dead by the Nazis in July 1941. May their memory live forever!

Chernovitz association of former prisoners of concentration camps and ghettos. Chernovitz regional fund "Chesed Shushana"."

Sadly, they were shot by locals, Romanian and Ukrainians. And more sadly, many more were killed and died during the years of deportation to Transdniestria.

Frenkel, David, son of Yehoshua

From: "Biographies of Rabbis Perished in the Holocaust" by Dr. Pnina Miselisch
Translated from Hebrew by Yohanan Loeffler

"Born in 1862, in Zabłotów, Eastern Galicia. After his marriage he moved Izbica, near Lublin, in those days in Russian Poland.
As a foreign citizen, he was deported by the Russians, like all foreign citizens,
and moved to Nepolcauti , Bukovina, where he served as Rabbi for over fifty years.
During WW1 he moved to Vienna, where he was among the first signatories to permit legumes on Passover. After WW1 he returned to Zablotoab
(mistake, should be "returned to Nepolocauti"- Yohanan Loeffler) , where he perished in September 1941".(Wrong, he was murdered while deported from Yedinetz to Transniestria - Yohanan Loeffler))

הרב דוד בן יהושע פרנקל
מתוך: "רבנים שנרצחו בשואה" - ד"ר פנינה מייזליש

"נולד בתרכ"ב,1862, בזבלוטוב, Zabłotów, שבגליציה המזרחית. אחרי נישואיו עבר לאיזביצה, Izbica, שבאזור לובלין, ובאותם הימים היתה בתחומי פולין הרוסית. מכיוון שהיה נתין זר גרשו אותו הרוסים, כמו את כל האזרחים הזרים, והוא עבר לנפולוקאוץ, Nepolcauti , שבבוקובינה, ובה כיהן כרב יותר מחמישים שנה.
בימי מלחמת העולם הראשונה עבר לווינה, ושם היה בין ראשוני החותמים להיתר קטניות בפסח. אחרי המלחמה שב לזבלוטוב,
(טעות בספר, צריך להיות: "שב לנפולוקאוטץ" -יוחנן לפלר) ושם נספה בתשרי תש"ב,1941." (גם זו טעות, הוא נספה בגרוש, בדרך מידינץ לטרנסנייסטריה - יוחנן לפלר)

In: History of Jews in Bukowina [Volume II, pages 1-5]

History of the Jews in Bukovina
(1919 – 1944) (cont'd)

"...The wave of pogroms in Bukovina gradually subsided, especially since the arrival of the Governor Alexander Risosanu (July 20, 1941). He came so to say after a fait accompli. The pogrom had ended. Bad news arrived simultaneously from the province, state and district of Czernowitz. The soldiers were told by their superiors not to waste ammunition. A Jew was not worth a bullet A new process of murder was instituted. Four Jews were laid on each other and killed with a single shot.

The Romanian military patrols pushed far to the north. In the territory between Waschkoutz and Wiznitz Szycz commanders from Galicia hoisted the Ukrainian national flag and declared the Ukrainian sovereignty of the territory in a gruesome way by slaughtering the resident Jews.

Also in the villages of Nepolokoutz, Iwankoutz and Juzinetz, the majority of the Jews were killed."
