Storojinet today is still a small village with the old style way of living. Most of the citizens are Ukrainian, some of them are Romanians, and when I visit there I have met with one Jew - Dr. Aberbooch. The synagogue had become a gym room, but I think that being still standing and still look like a synagogue is good enough.

The tombstone of the jews massacre

This tombstone is standing on the end of the Jewish cemetary in Storojinet.

Here are buried 250 jews (the tombstone is standing on a very large cement plate) which were killed by the Nazis(more correctly, it was a massacre) during June 1941.

The Rieglers house

Finding the old house was a difficult chalange. I am 100% sure I have found the street, and almost 100% this is the house. I bring a lot of pictures to Marcus Riegler (my grandmother brother) to decide if this is the house, and according to furter hints I have found there, we conclude that it is the house.





Riegler's house

In this pictures you can see the Riegler's house. (That one in the middle of the pictures which have room in the loft)

This small alley where the house is standing is 'Noi-Volgas' street.

Tsaryuk is christian. He used to be the keeper of the Jewish cemetary for long time. He used to know all the residents of Storojinet. By the time I visit there, he was very sick, and could remember nothing.
